This is a normal occurrence (constructive interference) and can be handled a number of ways.

- [Voice/event limits](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-studio?version=2.1&page=advanced-topics.html#stealing-and-virtualization) can help make sure there isn’t too much going on at once. Can be set at an event level or at a group bus level
- [Side chain compression](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-studio?version=2.1&page=modulator-reference.html#sidechain-modulator) between buses to help make space in the audio spectrum for the more important sounds
- [Snapshots](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-studio?version=2.1&page=mixing.html#snapshots-and-the-tracks-view) can be utilised to adjust volume/EQ/any necessary effects on certain buses when needed
- Mixing the game can be made easier using the [Live Update feature](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-studio?version=2.1&page=editing-during-live-update.html) to see exactly where there is too much noise and make adjustments there.
