I think you did well with the sidechain. It sounds very crisp and rhythmic.

What were your settings on the compressor? (threshold, ratio, attack, release)

Overall I enjoyed the sense of space and sound quality.

Thanks! I used Gross Beat for the Sidechaining. Not sure how to attach an image, but it's fairly basic.

Do you think I should continue with it? I can't tell if it sounds good.

Well, my own taste in music requires a lot of flow and dynamics. So for me, this was a little static. But it wasn't bad. As long as you like it, keep going. That's what's important. I'll only comment on style when something sticks out like a sore thumb, but nothing did here.

There's some flamming going on with the top of the snare/clap and the top of the kick.. it could be a compression thing, or just that the snares etc. are too far off the beat. I like the general idea though, nice buildup and chord progression
