Ive heard many tunes that have an audiable pumping sound to them (hardhouse especially) and ive been told that this has something to do with compression, particually sidechain compressors. I guess that the attack / release settings are they key, but no matter how hard i try i cant recreate this effect. Do i need a sidechaining compressor or can i set this effect up myself in FL5 using any old compressor?

Any compressor will do.
Usually its the effect of the kick within the mix that does this. Your right in that its the attack/release you need to play with, but also the threshold. Set it the threshold to trigger only on the kicks if you can (try sticking it on the drum buss rather than the full mix, but you should be able to get it going over the full mix). Once you see the compression kicking in at the right time, then start playing with the attack and release so that just as compressor is dropping off, the kick brings it back in again. Fast attack, fastish release.

Just thought I would let u know I finally got my tracks to "pump". Tried compressing a kickdrum and a hardstyle bass thing on the same bus and it sounds phat as fook. Underloop, you are a legend.
