808's dipping compressor problems

Does it sound like the 808's make the whole sound dip? https://soundcloud.com/may_cole/alain

The mix as a whole does not clip, but some cans cannot take this much low end punch so they will distort in the cans. The kick drum has very audible distortion on it.

In terms of dipping, I would say no, not too much dipping... (sounds like it is in a side chain)

I think that the mix as a whole needs to be softened a little and that the kick drum is made a bit less distorted since it is almost entirely trashed right now.

BTW. Interesting tension and release patterns, well done!

That can be called overcompression method for sidechaining.
Some producers like that method over regular sidechaining
