I don't think my volume level is necessarily the issue. It doesn't seem to affect the drop or anywhere else I have the sub bass. Only where I have the single shot it seems to draw the levels of the rest of the sounds down. As far as the bass drop I'm referring to it's just a bass drop sample that you'd put after a drop or something so when I have that hit it draws the level of my down lifter down and when the sample finishes the volume level of the down lifter rises back up. I don't have the volume levels cranked
I can't decipher what you're talking about. The terminology isn't any thing common or useful :|
What is a down lifter? and how does it go down? and in what context does it go down?
It still smells like that particular "down lifter" is to loud and causing some thing to activate like a limiter or a compressor (don't mix into those things if you have them on your master buss; i also wouldn't recommend mixing into them on a channel either, because if you don't know how it behaves, you could end up getting that pump, and not in the way arnold means it)
If you can come up with better words to describe your situation, maybe i can help some more.
But i'd suggest what wontolla says and see if that does the trick.
