Feeble attempt at doing a Bergstrand mix (Soilwork)

[Terminus]

Yeah it's nowhere near that shit but at any rate, let me know what you think. I busted out my own cover of Nerve tonight just to have something to go by when I A/B his to mine. It's Addictive Drums 2.

Cool! What are you using for the Guitar sound and what synth stuff are you using?

Well tell me what I am doing wrong and I'll tell you what I used.

The core guitar tone sounds really good but your mix is terrible. It's too lofi and muddy...you need to get more high end on everything. I can also hear unwanted artefacts somewhere.

It's not a disaster and i am sure you can remedy it but go back to basics and start low cutting everything with an EQ and get a decent drum sound before you bring everything up.

Ok gotcha. I recorded and mixed it a few hours so it's no wonder it's terrible. I actually matched the guitar up to the album with eq so that might be why it's faring better in your opinion. I really gotta ditch AD2! I can't get a decent sound out of it to save my life!

It wasn't the EQ on the guitar that piqued my interest but the core tone.

Have a listen to my EP in my signature and if you are interested in the sounds there I'll be happy to give some tips. I know it's chalk and cheese in musical style but the principles are the same.
