Routing through Buss track kills the volume
Hello,
I'm running Pro Tools 2021.7.0 on an iMac Pro (2017) with an 18-core Intel Xeon, 2.3 Ghz and 256 GB of ram. This project is rather large, with 54 tracks, including all audio tracks, buss tracks and all aux tracks, and midi tracks etc. Simply put, when I route my electric guitars through a Buss track (Stereo aux track), the volume goes way down. The guitars were recorded through a Direct Input via a Great River PreAmp. AND, this happens when there's NOTHING on the buss track...no limiter, no EQ etc. My engineer tried creating a second buss track named GtrBuss2 (the first was named GtrBuss). It helps a little but when I compare these results by switching the routing the main Stereo Out, the volume jumps way high. I appreciate any help. I still have much to learn about routing....Thank You, Frank B. |

Re: Routing through Buss track kills the volume
Try putting the Bus Track in Input Only.

Re: Routing through Buss track kills the volume
Thank you for responding. I'm not sure what you mean.... I tried setting buss tracks to 'No Output" with only the Input defined....
Of course that didn't help - it cut off the routing chain and my audio didn't play. Anyways, I'm not sure I did what you meant to say...Thanks.... |

Re: Routing through Buss track kills the volume
I do both. I route effects in busses using sends for individual tracks.
I route Busses via track output for grouping instruments and using single effects. Could two different electric guitars (1 is a Gretsch - the 2nd a Rickenbacker) have phase issues both being recorded by Direct Input? Thanks for your responding.... |

I'm talking about putting the Bus Track to "Input Only Monitoring". See page 531 of the Reference Guide.

Re: Routing through Buss track kills the volume
Looks like he's using an Aux track, not an Audio track.

Re: Routing through Buss track kills the volume
This might be a long-shot, but nothing so far has made any sense with my experience in this kind of situation.
If the routing has some additional processing that's not immediately obvious (like a Volume Trim Automation at the head, a Trim plugin, also routed to a channel with a polarity-reverse...) Maybe look for something like that. Make a new Aux Channel that you route those guitars to, and make sure that they are ONLY routed to that Aux, and the Aux is ONLY going to the Master.
