I'm making a sort of dream pop esque track right now. I have several synths, drums, and bass. I keep getting a buzzy distortion and i can't seem to get rid of it. What might be causing it? It seems to be on the bass, the drums, and one of the synths.

Make sure that none of those signals are clipping (red clipping LEDs lighting up in the mixer), although "buzzy distortion" doesn't sound related to clipping. If your sound sources (instrument, sample player) sound good, try monitoring each cable along the signal path to see at which stage does the distortion appear and why. Also, listen to pairs of sounds at a time to see if it's the combination of them that gives you that distorted sound. It might be an annoying frequency build up from those sounds, in which case you'd use EQ to clean up and separate them. Hope this helps.
