Might be a simple answer to this question but here goes.
Took a basic drum beat, created multiple tracks- muted all tracks but the kick and audio mixdowned with cubase
Then unmuted all others toms, cyblas hihat etc and audio mixed downed
Exported all to MP3
So I have two tracks, 1 with the kick only and the other with toms, snare, cymbals etc
When I went to my car to listen- the kick drum sounds fat, lots of bottom end and is loud- the 2nd track with the exact same kick but with the other parts of the drum- the kick volume drops by like 50%
Why is this? Is it because with just the kick the overheads are picking up the kick and when I activate the rest of the track the other parts of the drums are blocking the kick from the room and overhead mics?
It’s the only answer I can think of, but still not sure why it would affect the kick volume.
Anyone know why this happens?
Thanks to any answers!
