I’d thinking about using compressors to change the attack shape of a sound/buss or using a comp to make things heavier/weightier, but not necessarily to manage peaks. The second time, it’ll take a 10th or less of the time. The first time you had to figure everything out. Re doing a mix can be really helpful, and it won’t take you as long. Busses should be peaking below your track peak, definitely. I’d start the mix again, turn up your monitors a bit, and get your kick and snare right, then go from there bringing volumes up. Moving busses IS helpful for balance, and I might ultimately have a music buss, and a drum buss, just to get that balance right going into mastering, but you can be sure, I’m not taking one buss down 3 db, and another up 3db. That is not good practice when gain staging. It will probably make your music louder, but also a little shitter sounding. Your busses shouldn’t be getting out of hand like that. the over-simple solution is rendering to 24bit and then using a multiband compression in soundforge. I recommend turning your monitors up louder. But I work UP to -6db or whatever my track is going to be peaking at. I wouldn’t be making big moves with your buss like that, just me.
