Bass:
the gearbox track has NO eq at all, just sir2 with ampeg 8x10 impulse (A8x10_57_ah.wav) and lot's of rcomp compression.
the DI bass track has a wide 2k boost and sir2 with A8x10_57_A107.wav impulse (dry signal still on!) and lot's of rcomp compression
actually I was wrong: the DI track has -14db!!!.
bass group track has req2 with high/lowpass filter at 63hz and 8.5k, again a lot of rcomp, and some eq (boost at 1.2k and 3.5k, took out some of the 150hz boom)
the bass I used is fucking old and has a SHITTY sound on it's own. it couldn't handle the tuning too well

Guitars:
quadtracked, s-preshigh impulse by catharsis (thanks man!), 100/85-85/100 panning.
grouptrack: high/lowpass at 80hz and 11k.
some boost at 470hz, some more at 1.1k.
that's it. hope I could help!

my biggest influences right now are raised fist and comeback kid, architects are okay but the new record sucks a lot.
Emdprodukt to get rid of the muddiness on the low end just cut the very low of the bass, if you tried that already than give boost to the mid range of the bass and lower the low range. As for the kick drum give a boost to the midhigh range. Try these two with 1-3db max and check the muddiness again. It will be much much better.
But most of all the problem is in the bass. I feel you overused the rbass waves plugin maybe? Try these out..

Love the guitar tone as well though I must say that I'm pretty convinced that the bottom end muddines is due to the guitars not being high passed sufficiently. Seems to be the L6 big bottoms typical problem - it needs to be high passed somewhat higher than the other "amps". Around 100-120 Hz - and highpassing with one band isn't enough, with the big bottom I end up doing two or three high passes. Cleans up the low end and opens up the sound, raise the bass afterwards to fill in the "missing" guitar frequencies.
Cheers & btw awesome & f¤%#& tasty riffing!

georgekant: no rbass at all. I will cut some of the lows.
kromann: thanks man! I had my highpass somewhere arround 80hz let's see what will happen, uploading an update soon!

I think it's much better now. Georgekant: I don't think it was the bass. I allready did everything you said.
I did what Kromann said and moved the highpass to 100 hz, worked. I also cut some of the lowend in the kickdrum. The master is now less compressed which makes it sound more open (to me).

Wow! This song is number 1 on soundclick death metal charts. does that mean anything
Hahaha yeah
First of all..Congrats! I still know, as I was pretty new here, an Act of Rage song was on #1 Soundclick. I also asked here, if this means anything. Then Black neon Bob told me, I kicked him off the first place. He congratulated me and said that there is nothing special..it´s just the fact, lot of Sneapsters had listen to it.

You´re welcome, dude
I still praise you for the guitar sound. Keep the formula secret! I implore you.

i hate when fags hide their settings. It doesn't help anyone it just locks people out from learning in a new way.Yes there are those that abuse the system by just stealing a tone and then being LIKE OMG WTFIAMSTILLSHIT. You should be able to write explanations in pod tones so u can say 'omgz 1.6khz boost givez bla bla' etc. Kind of like youtube
