My bad, I typed it out wrong. 85 in the neck and 81 on the bridge is how I have it set up now. Thanks for those tips. I know it sounds very artificial, that's why I came here in the first place! I can't do much with the vocals since somebody else recorded them for me. I'll look into...

I just tried that, it seems like my plugins still think it's in 44.1k, because everything sounds stretched out and strange. How to change this?

I've been trying to effectively use amp sims for a few years now, and no matter what I do, it seems like I'm not getting a sound as punchy and clear as I should be. I've used the exact chains as people in this forum, and it sounds nowhere near as good as that. I'd like to figure out where I'm...

Thanks for the feedback! As for the kick, I'm giving it a pretty big boost at 100 hz, with a Q of about 1.5. I feel like that might be way too low, but I have no idea. Where do folks normally boost kicks?

I know it's not anywhere near the quality of what you guys are putting out, but I also don't have any budget. I'd appreciate any feedback from people with more experienced ears than me. Here it is: http://soundcloud.com/clownmite/buried-in-tophet

You don't have to be a member to play the songs, it's just like myspace. Not sure why it's not playing for you, but I'll host it on dropbox too. Here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1257659/Quadriceptus.mp3 Do you have any examples of these being used with free plugins (i.e. wagner...

If anyone is willing to take a listen to my mix and give suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it (please excuse the rough take and unfinished song). The guitars have a very digital and muddy sound that I'm not quite sure how to clean up. Obviously I'm using a cheap DI and am very limited by it -...

Yup, there's a VSTi bass in there (Cakewalk Bass guitar). The drumming is EZdrummer - Drumkit from Hell. I know I have a long way to go with the drums (any help mixing those is appreciated, as well as improving my guitar tone).

I don't mean to bump my own thread, but I was hoping that the more experienced people would be able to help me out with my tone, since it obviously needs a lot of work. I fixed my silly mistake of using Boogex as an amp sim, but my tone still sucks. Is this the best I'll be able to get DI-ing...

Wow, I don't know how I missed that I was using Boogex as an amp too, especially since I took a screenshot for you guys. I turned off all amp sim knobs, but my tone still sucks, it's kind of thin and tinny. I also forgot to say before, that I recorded this with very rough takes (so ignore guitar...

As you can tell by my post count, I'm new here. I was hoping to get feedback on one of my first mixes. I would appreciate all the constructive criticism, especially very specific constructive criticism (i.e. telling me what specific adjustments to do with my EQ, etc). I'm also posting a picture...
