So I'm up working on this track, and I made sure the kick drum came through the mix via eq while creating the instrumental, but after I laid the vocals down they all got in the way, so I bussed all the vox to a bus and cut where I boost the kick. THe kick was coming through where the lead vocal stood solo, but when a background vocal kicked in the kick seemed to lose its impact.
My solution was to cut each individual vocal track in the same place. After I did this everything was fine. The kick drum now shines through the mix, but I feel like... that's wrong? Should I really have to cut the kick in all those tracks? Why isn't bussing them and doing one cut enough? I didn't go to school for this, but I work on this stuff all the time in my room trying to find new tricks because I just want my mixes to be great. This would really help me out, guys.
