I am in the process of making a new dance track however for some reason after the break in the middle of the track when I take the kick drum out then back in again the kick drum when it comes back in knocks the volume of the rest of the instruments down a little why is this I have taken a screen shot & mark out where the kick drum & snare come back in, this is the point at were the volume of the rest of the instruments knocks down a

    Do you have heavy compression on the master bus?

    is the kick the input to a sidechained effect in another track?

    If there is no effects, the volume and sound of the kick can make other stuff sound lower in volume just the way the mix comes out.

    you seem to have an effect in the kik clip. Is the same effect in the kik that precedes it?

    You also have two stereo layers enabled by the way, does the earlier kick section have the same layers?

    When ever you add or take away a track in the mix, the perceived volume may be affected by it.

    Was the break done by hand?? It appears you are working with loops but if they are not phase aligned all sorts of odd things can happen.

    yup!!! Pretty much my same words. He probably isn't used to how sound works this way, or there is indeed something different in this section fromt he first section.
