Hey guys, I've noticed that if I have a huge audio bus, >10 channels, the volume of everything in that bus plummets WRT the overall mix. For instance, if I bus all eight of my drums tracks (k-s-lo-ro-hh-rd-rt-ft) to a drum bus for comp/EQ it's fine - no affect on volume in the mix; but, I've found myself having to bus a ton of tracks on occasion (say all guitars and voxes) to try something and it impacts the sound drastically. Everything on that bus drops way out of the mix.
I can see this happening on old outboard gear, as signal is likely lost due to physical routing and rerouting, but in a DAW? Why is this happening?
