How often (often as in the meta-world of "mixing music in general, as a whole") is the bassline ducked behind the kick?
I would imagine that no matter the sound/genre/style it happens more often than not to control the low freqs without losing punch.
Any information on what situations really call for it are appreciated.

I have never ducked a bass behind the kick but I have gated a bass off the kick. Only when a bass players timing is so horrible that there was no way he was going to play in time. (Best solution would be “get a good bass player!”). I keyed the gate to open with the kick and set the release to the proper duration and "voila!", instant talent. ........ Fats

I've personally never resorted to that....can't remember a situation that I saw someone else do it either.
Generally I'll do things like ride the whole kit up for the downbeat of the chorus, ect.
