How I Create Clarity In A Crowded Metal Guitar Mix

What’s the best way to create clarity in an overstuffed metal guitar mix?

Have you ever dealt with a mix that contained so many moving parts that creating any sort of space and clarity seemed almost impossible? ​

With each passing year, track counts seem to grow more and more when it comes to sessions that clients send me to mix. ​

The question is, what techniques or mixing tricks should you be using when dealing with such complex mixes that contain a million tracks that all fight for the same sonic real-estate? ​
Should you resort to:

Drastic EQ cuts and boosts? ​

Mid/side processing?

​Advanced sidechaining to help keep things from stepping on each other’s toes? ​

Watch me break down a project I’m currently mixing for a client where there are a million things going on at once.. ​That somehow all need to work together. ​

In my latest tutorial, I show you exactly how I deal with this very common issue within a metal guitar mix.
