Hello, use to have the same issues, heres what helped me out, so if u do this ignore me lol

all kick goes to a subchannel put a master hard limiter on it with a moderate threshhold and maybe an eq before for tweaking this prevents your kicks getting out of control during build ups, subbass gets side channeled to a the kick (or a kick signal if the main kick is not a 4/4) subbass also gets its own subchannel. rest of the drums go through its own submixer and a low pass is added so it doesnt interfere with kick. Synth pads and leads get a sub chanel each too. maybe use some slight compressor on those but the main point is to group eq them so pads dont mess with leads dont mess with drums, dont mess with bass dont mess with kick.

Another trick which helps is a technique called 'technical eqing' where you calculate the fundemental notes for low registered sounds (i.e bass or anything creeping below the 500-800hz mark) as a frequency, once you have this frequncy then you set a notch filter (high q) and dip it by -6 to -10 db so it doesnt cause large spikes when u sum it with another instrument in the saem frequency range

By Subchannel What are you referring to.. Output 1-2 Output 3-4. Or Just a standard Audio Track,

outputs, yes if your using a hardware mixer to group your channels.

suppose group channel would be a better word. in logics case using a bus object to merge channels before going to out1,2 if you are using vst/soft style mixer.
