clips on fat bass

Hi people

I think I have an issue, on songs in which there is a synth modified to be a fat and loud bass (by using the cutoff, a little bit of saturation and bass parameter to more than 40). Alone, the track is not clipping, but if I play it with another track it clips regularly even if the volume of the bass is low. Is it a bug or do I want to achieve something not allowed ?
I have received my Deluge two weeks ago so it has the last firmware I presume.

Cheers

Phil

    This only happens to me when I have kick drum hitting at the same time as a fat bass sound, usually high passing the kick and using sidechain fixes it.

    Thanks Cypher79 ! ok so I can fix it then. I have seen a couple off video talking about this sidechain thing, but I can't figure out how to accomplish it exactly, on which track do I have to apply it exactly and how ? the bass or the kick ?

    Sounds to me like you simply don't have enough headroom. Turn everything down, then turn your speakers up!

    Make sure your bass is highlighted, then select sidechain and turn the upper gold knob...the Deluge automatically knows where the kick drum is.

    Hi !
    @Cypher79 no way, the clips are always there whenever the level of the sidechain unfortunately.
    @muleskinner as I said, the clips are here even if all the tracks are very low :(
    looks like I can't use this bass in fact

    I might have had a similar problem just now. Didn't matter if I put in sidechain oder lowered the volume.

    just a guess, maybe another bug with a sidechain modulation?

    however, if you can reproduce the bug and send the XML files, pretty sure Rohan will appreciate and fix it.
