Mixing Metal Guitars & Building A Tone With A FREE Amp Sim

Here’s real-world proof that mixing metal guitars can be DEAD SIMPLE and all you need is a free amp sim and any old stock EQ plugin.

It’s true, guitar mixing can be one of the easiest (and quickest) elements to nail within a heavy production as long as you pay close attention to what actually matters.

On a near-daily basis, I receive questions from subscribers about:

  • The Axe-Fx
  • Kemper ​
  • (fill-in-the-blank) latest and greatest amp sim released that week ​
  • stereo wideners​
  • cabinet selection
  • microphone selection
  • overpriced IR packs
  • m/s processing
  • quad tracking

What if I told you that you don’t need any of that crap in order to produce KILLER guitar tones in your mixes?

​In this tutorial, I show you how to dial in (and mix) a killer guitar tone from scratch…using nothing more than a free amp sim, impulse response and $60 DAW.

Remember, it’s not the tools… ​

It’s how you use them.

You can download the exact same files that I’m mixing in the tutorial by clicking HERE.
