Side chain on DT2

So I have had the DT2 about a couple of weeks. I can’t get a good ducking or thumping side chain to save my life. I’ve watched all the videos. I’m convinced that it just doesn’t work good. Does anybody else have this issue? I’m usually having a kick on T1 and bass on T2. I go into the compressor menu, select source as T1 (kick) and mess with the settings.

So a question. Under compressor routing, do I want T1 (kick) and T2 (bass) selected and everything else de-selected?

For a general ducking of bass with the kick, you want the bass to be enabled in the Compressor Routing setup page but not the kick - otherwise that gets slammed with the comp too (this was the only way on DT1).

Compressor: SCS as TR1 (Kick)
Compressor Routing (Setup): Track 2 (Bass) lit orange, others off.
