I know that there are many tutorials for sidechaining already available, but I think that this is the better way to it. It actually sounds better as well.

Sidechaining using the CALF Sidechain Compressor:

Preparation:

1. Create input.
2. Add Peak Controller to input (kick).
3. Create instrument.
4. Add Sidechain Compressor to instrument (lead).

Settings:

5. Connect Peak Controller controller to S/C Level.
6. In the Peak Controller settings, set Base to 0 and AMNT to 1.
7. In the Sidechain Compressor settings, set Ratio to full.
8. Tweak volumes, Threshold, and Ratio until satisfied.

N.B.: The FX do not have to be added to the kick and instrument only. They can also be assigned to different FX channels.

Yes, quite a few, but good tips are always welcome.
Do remember that the expression of the sidechain also can be influenced by the ENV of the kick or whatever is chosen as 'controller'
