Mixing Metal Guitar Layers – Home Studio Mixing Pt. 2

Hmmm..where do so many home studio owners go wrong when mixing metal guitars?

So many amp sims, modelers, IR’s and so little time… ​

Why commit to any one guitar tone when you can always switch it up later.. even until right before you master your song? ​

47 different EQ plugins in your plugins list to choose from… ​

Why stick with the one EQ when you can spend days auditioning 46 other ones that (maybe) sound 3% different from one another? ​

That guitar sound is sounding a little weak… ​

Why not just add a 5 and 6th guitar layer to thicken it up? ​​

Yup, I’ve been guilty of all three of these mixing traps as a home studio owner/guitar player.​ ​​

In Pt. 2 of this video series, I dive into a recent mix of mine and talk all about how I go about mixing metal guitar layers.
