I had a phantom feed putting my kick drum onto my bass guitar bus... Can't figure out why?

Drums are set to go to a drum bus, then individual sends from the drum tracks to a drum comp. bus, the send from the kick to that bus is also feeding into my bass bus? If I solo my bass bus I have kick too. Turn the send from the kick --> drum comp off & it goes away? Really freaking weird. It's routed right... sending wrong.

    Chuck, check to see if any of the sends are set to "pre" instead of post. Set to "pre" mode will give you the artifact you're hearing. It won't do it set to "post" though which is where I usually have mine set. You may have just clicked it by accident. Hope this solves it....good luck.

    Hi Chuck,
     
    Did you perhaps copy/paste or drag-and-drop a copy of a compressor with a send (either straight or side chained) activated from one bus to another?

    Thanks guys.  
    Danny, I am sure they are all set to "pre" as that is how I have gotten used to working so that if I make minor adjustments to level it doesn't change what I am feeding the compressors.  I'll Check that out though.

    Mike, I checked my compressors on all related/involved tracks & buses for that reason & ruled that one out.  But thank you anyhow!

    If it's a total mystery, as in you have checked everything and it doesn't make any sense...

    Then I suggest you replace the bus and or the compressors on the bus and reroute to the new stuff, as I suspect that one possibility is that it may simply be a routing issue that is "stuck" behind the scenes.

    Kind of like you think you pulled a cable out, but SONAR doesn't think you did.


    Good luck.

    best regards,
    mike
