Is there a quick way to implement one sound ducking another?

Hi,I wonder if you can help me.I am using a Platinum Compressor in Logic 8 to externally sidechain.I am using a kick drum as my key input or trigger that compresses a sub bass which ducks the kick drum,but only on the first beat of every bar,not all four beats within that bar.This is because there seems to be upward spread masking on this beat-the other 3 kick drum beats in the bar are distinct.Since this compressor is at a setting that reduces the volume of the sub bass I have automated the compressor so it is active only when the first kick of the bar plays,the rest of the time it is bypassed via automation.However this is fairly time consuming to implement and I'm wondering is there a more efficient way to achieve the same effect?Thanks.Daryl
