My apologies if this has been answered before (been struggling to phrase it concisely), but I'm having a problem.
I have layers of lead vocals outputting to a mix buss (a folder stack specifically), which is contained in a summing stack. On top of this the mix buss folder stack is outputting to an auxiliary track.
If I mute or adjust the gain on the folder stack it affects the whole signal, however if I do the same on the aux track it is only partially affected, why is this? shouldn't this be the final control of the signal?
For additional information, I have some reverb and delay sends set up on the folder stack and sent to the final aux (routing them anywhere else seems to cause either phasing or significant lag).
So what's the missing link here? Why is the final aux output not controlling the entire signal?
Thanks in advance
