4 Sneaky Metal Guitar Mixing Tricks That Make A Real Difference

Metal guitar mixing often mystifies people.  This is because it can be one of the most difficult things to get right within a mix.  

We often like to turn guitar mixing into something more complicated than it needs to be.

People love chatting it up on the subject of:

Compression..

Saturation..

Limiting..

We all obsess over the intricacies of these mixing tools so much that we often overlook simple techniques that can take our metal guitar mixing (or mixing in general) to the next level. 

Remember, great mixes and guitar productions existed long before all of the fancy pants plugins we all use today were even around.
