This setup allows to duck another track (usually the pads and leads or even the whole master bus) every time the kick plays, while pretty easy in principle this setup is not always easily accomplished in many DAWs since sometimes audio routing can be complicated, then you also have to understand how the compressor works and the correct time settings to use for attack and release in order to create the right rhythm.
