cheers!
Aside from the pretentious nature of your 2nd post there seems to be a couple of issues….
Firstly it depends what sort of “era” of mix you’re looking for? Listening to “Quintessence of Fire” At the moment and it sounds like early testament, so early 90’s thrash. The drums and vox both need to be dried out and brought more upfront, i would also say the vox need some more compression, after than the snare could do with being more upfront aswell, and a bit more bottom end on the mix wouldn’t go amiss…
Guitars are a bit too loud for the mix and a bit to fizzy for my taste, each to their own, the playing is nice and solid but to me, the tone sounds really “DI’d” rather than a nice cab pumping out some SPL’s, also the bass guitar seems to be lacking in the mix.
So in summary, on the guitars prolly roll off a bit of 4k and bring up maybe a bit of 1k and 2.5k (depends how your signal chain runs), add a nice healthy dose of 50-60 hz to the whole mix, (BBE maximisers are good for a nice low end bump if the mix behind it is pretty stable, no spikes etc), dry up vox and drums and drop the guitars in level, maybe carve out some freq’s upto 250hz on the middle of the stereo field freq’s and give a bit more to the bass in that area.. i.e. EQ the bass to the centre of the mix.
Some starters…
