Once I found a sound of chopsticks clicking in an illmind pack and used that as a trigger. This way if you adjust some track levels the SC comp is still hitting at the same amplitude. Note that I set the sc to prefader in the ableton comp. If I need to duck with the kick and snare Ill use the SC group as the trigger. When I need only to duck with the kick sound I feed the comp with the kick from the SC group. One will have my kick pattern midi and other will have the snare pattern. Ill have a SC group with a couple of simplers in it on separate tracks with the audio only going to sends but not routed to anything.Usually Im using a short closed hi hat sound as a trigger. But in my last couple of tracks Ive been using the stock ableton comps. I was using kickstart, then moved to volume shaper and LFOTool. If Im not happy with one method I'll try another. Some methods work better than others depending on the material. I use all (separately of course) depending. When you use LFO tool or Kickstart (a dumbed down version of Volume shaper) or Volumeshaper to sidechain we use midi to trigger it.
