Ok so i tried to jimmy the the mastering settings ( attached ) but the problem persists. Im suspecting its the master buss comp.... first time ive used one in 20 years so im betting the house i set it up wrong. Anyway ...
what did i do ... reduced maximiser 0.5 db
relaxed thresholds on lower mids and bass comps
put a separate comp in a module between 55 and 65 hz to tame that region
the dynamic range is a bit better but that bass in conjunction with the increase of volume in the chorus is ( i suspect ) triggering the mix buss comp and its clamping down on the whole mix as a result. Using the Waves LA2A for mix buss .. possibly not the best to use but im in new territory when it comes to mix buss comping so im gonna mess it up for a bit i think ;...(
