Alright, here's that SideChain Compression experiment!

Thanks to @IndrisanoAudio for improvising the Captain's lines, and
@freesounddev for a few spicy sfx used in the creation of this experiment.

Would love to hear what y'all think about the results.

I've uploaded it to YouTube, but as of yet it hasn't finished processing.

Hopefully there it won't play in mono:p
Final thoughts:

v1 is interesting, but the effect on the dialogue doesn't quite hit where I wanted.

v2 was a surprise to me, and I tried it on a whim. Works surprisingly well.

v3 is the safe approach, but to my ear, some of the energy of the scene gets lost.

I think another way of doing this would be to use EQ (maybe a HPF) on the dialogue tracks, or just lowering the verb as the turbulence hits. I think the energy increases as the high freqs of the dialogue drop out.
