This is a subtle trick that doesnt get used as much as it used to, but its still a great technique to know about. The idea is to recreate the sound of a tape machine or compressor dipping the volume and treble of a track when the kickdrum is heard. It was used a lot on 'Golden Era' hip-hop records, and Portishead used it a lot too.
This is the basic 'recipe' for sidechain pumping:
1- Route your kickdrum into an FX channel of its own.
2- Add a Peak Controller FX to it. make sure you turn muting off on the plug-in.
3- Add a Volume FX to every other track except the kickdrum and the main output.
4- Right-click each Volume FX and select Link To Controller.
5- Select Peak from the dropdown list.
6- Uncheck the Remove Conflicts box
7- Go back to the Peak Controller Plugin
8- Turn Base all the way up, and Volume down to around 30%.
9- Make the TNS shape point upwards.
10- Tweak the Decay parameter to taste.
You should now hear the kickdrum 'pumping' the rest of the track.
Enjoy, you Floopers.

Floops sidechain trick
To suppose that earth is the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to believe that in an entire field sown with millet, only one grain will grow.

Not only the program looks like a toy, it looks like a gay toy.
I wonder.. why wont they change those damn fruity colors? Blechhhh.
A light-dark composite would be perfect, to make it look like the real thing.
Someone should suggest that to them..To suppose that earth is the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to believe that in an entire field sown with millet, only one grain will grow.
