Yes but not what I meant.

This is what I meant. Grab say a clap track. Or a snare track (snares are much more sensitive to low end you add, but can help just as well).
You set your signal to sine, you set your threshold to a setting that doesn't linger too long. You set your release so it doesn't fade too quick or Too short.
You then set your attack to taste, but not at 0 attack,unless you want that sound, you probably won't like it.
Then (this is where you hone it in) you move your freq slider to where it blends well with the signal (clap, hat, snare etc. . . )
It should be around 60 Hz and MAYBE 100 Hz, but that's high, you're looking for subtle movement in your drivers when those sounds play, not really "hearing" the effect, but when you drop the effect out, your clap hat etc. . . will be SMALL AS HELL, you'll feel like the floor dropped out from you.
Again, it's subtle, (but my production / music style) doesn't use traditional Bass Lines to establish bottom, it's done with the the drums and certain synths, but much to do with lot's of low end, that doesn't fight, because there's no bass line eating up massive amounts of low end.
But for you, you can side chain bass with this effect and the bass will move to let the low hat / snare through.
Anything you don't get let me know, and I'll post a before after of say a drum mix (my style of course).
