[Solved] Pro channel filter won't work

Hi guys
 
I'm using addictive drums and I have each drum routed to a separate output and then each drum sent to it's own bus. Not sure if this is relevant to my issue but thought I'd make that clear in case it is. When I select a single track, just my kick or snare, everything in the pro channel works fine, except the filter. It just doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks

    Na nothing at all mate, nada. Really odd. I swear it has something to do with my bus setup, but why does everything else work, like the compressor etc? Maybe I'm going crazy. Will have another go.

    PC EQ on the main audio channel works ? before branching out to the bus.. (fader level lighted up ?)

    Since each drum is already routed to separate audio track, you do not normally need to route each track to (many) separate bus (if I read you correctly). All separate audio tracks should be routed to a single bus (or a few, depends how you want to mix it, but not one track-to-one bus).

    When I go that main drums channel that AD created for me to work in (not a bus, I hope) and look at inspector, the EQ isn't even in there, and when I try and drop it in it won't let me. Is this the channel you meant?
     
    Well the only reason I created a bus for each track is in case I want to have maybe 2 snares in a project, or two kicks. Then I have a bus for each. After that I route all those to another bus solely for drums. If I didn't do this then i think everything would just get fed into the same bus on AD. I deleted the Buses that AD created for me and I'm using a separate one in Sonar. This is an approach I got from an online cakewalk tutorial. Gonna use a bit of parallel compression and stuff with that main drums bus.

    Just noticed something that's flummoxed me further. I have signals going to the tracks Mains L and Mains R. I thought these tracks were redundant. Never quite figured out what they did but should have realised they were important. Total rookie here. When I delete them the beats lose a lot of omph. Are these the tracks you meant? How should I be busing these? Or are they buses? Damn buses lol. Think it's time I read the AD manual

    I've just realised the problem. My kick drum is coming from more than just my kick channel. I have it recorded in overhead and room too ofc. When I solo'd kick drum...voila..such a dozy git haha. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it. Still haven't figured where exactly mains L and mains R will fit into this whole thing but at least I can make my kicks fatter :)
