Arch Enemy cover In search for tone

[AgeOfGeburah]

So I wanted to test putting a SPECTRALIVE NXT at the end of the guitar chain, both rythm and lead/solo

Have a listen!

It really gave the guitars more edge and clarity, I'm happy with the tone for once!

Nice rhythm tone sounds very cool on the chunks, it's a bit boomy in the low end though. Try throwing on a multiband compressor around 100-300 hz, it will help out the palm mutes. I think you need a bit more air/presence too. You should also add some reverb/delay to the leads to blend it better in the mix, maybe make them a bit quieter too.

Drums definitely need more high end as they sound very dark.

Anyway, good job.

Guitars are too quiet, they sound really distant.

What is this? :O I get responses!
Awsome!

Yeah I had the lead pretty wet with delay and reverb, noticed that it didn't came out like that in the mix though.
Thanks for the tips.

Air/Presence in what? The entire mix?

Thanks for you took the time to answer guys, I really appriciate it. As I've been mixing stuff for about 1 month or so and been playing guitar for some 2-3 years only. So I really like criticism!

Air/Presence in what? The entire mix?

I was thinking about the rhythm guitars. But the mix kinda lack high end too, mainly because of the drums.
