I’m mixing a metal track in Logic Pro and I’m struggling to get the drums loud enough without clipping the mix bus.

Right now the drums sound fine balance wise, but when I try to push them louder they start hitting the red on the master. If I lower everything else the mix starts to feel quieter overall.

What are some techniques i can use to make drums feel louder without actually pushing the peaks too high?

I’m working with acoustic drums recorded with 4 mics, also I’m a beginner if you didnt notice.
