This can be done with any compressor that allows side-chain. The "usual" method is to insert a compressor on the bass track. Add a send to the kick track to an open bus and select that same bus as the side chain input in the compressor. The idea is to have the kick drum trigger(fast) the compressor so that the bass gets pushed(downward) out of the way of the kick drum attack(so start with fast attack and release and tweak from there). I put "usual" in quotes as there are no rules, only guidlines
