AndyB01 336 Posted March 1 (edited) Right chaps - technical question: I'm trying to improve my rudimentary mixing skills by following Mike Enjo's excellent videos. I have created sends for my FX and buses for the instrument tracks, done the gain staging and have ended up with a half decent mix (well to my ears). However, I think the lead guitar is just a tad too hot, but when I try and trim the level in the relevant bus fader it has zero effect. The guitar track in question has two sends to a delay and amp SIM and outputs to the bus. I'm clearly missing something really obvious and/ or doing something really dumb, but I just can't land where I'm going wrong here. Anyone care to have a crack at solving this one? I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance Andy Edited March 2 by AndyB01 Add resolution status Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reginaldStjohn 206 Posted March 1 Without seeing your exact routing it is hard to tell but it seems like the following might be happening from your description. - You have a send to a Amp Sim that outputs to a bus - You also have the audio track going somewhere as well? Usually, I just put the amp sim on the track. I personally would not send my guitar track to an amp sim using a send unless I was trying to blend the amp sim sound with the non effected sound. Sends are usually, not always, used to send a portion of a signal to effect it and then have it blend in with the original signal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyB01 336 Posted March 1 Thanks, that could well be it. I will rain check that and post an update if that's the fix. Cheers Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyB01 336 Posted March 2 (edited) Yep, that was it - cheers. All fixed. 🙂 Thinking back, I don't know why I used a send and an FX track for an amp sim either. 🤷 Andy Edited March 2 by AndyB01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
