I made a little tutorial on a cool live trick that can be used to route an input on ableton 8, here i've done it with lsdj
and a little live preview of something that the song in that video turned into this afternoon

nice video.
i made a table that can be assigned to kick instruments in lsdj to get a sidechain effect.
it involves m commands to drop the volume of all the channels and then bring them back up again.
as long as your kick is a fair bit louder than your other instruments it should work alright.
obviously it doesn't sound nearly as good as sidechaining using a DAW, but i made it when i was only using raw lsdj.
the table goes something like this
CMD
0 M44
1
2
3
4 M55
5
6
7
8 M66
9
A
B
C M77
D
E H0D
F
with the other command table being used to create your kick sound.
and you can obviously change that around to create faster/slower release times and such.
sorry, little bit of a threadjack there... but i thought it was kinda relevant. 
definitely relevant, I spent some time the other week trying to sidechain in lsdj (after noticing your patchbook entry http://lsdj.2x26.com/patch/jonnyriddle/ … ffect-kick
it's good but like you say you can to have everything turned right down and it's quite fiddly - neat trick though

yeahh, it's not too smooth either haha.
I've always just put a table that goes:
0 E01
1 E02
2 E03
3 E03
4 H00
5
6
7
8
9
A
B
C
D
E
F
Set with a groove that just coincides with your default groove. Works really well in the wav channel with distorted saw type sounds. That or E00,E01,E02,E03 instead.
For the pulse channels it needs a bit more of fiddling to get the right volume command. Although you can make each fade upwards in those channels which works well.
Little MIDI controller
Nice video. I'm thinking about getting some music software for my Mac, which would be best; Ableton or Logic?

apples and oranges, they're two very different applications - it depends on what you want to do
