First Metalcore Mix... Please give me tips...

[VWAS2009]

This is my first mix its like southern metalcore. Guitars are tracked with a 6505+ and a Peavey Windsor that is modified. Used a Single SM57.

Any tips on mix and getting better tones is greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance I look forward to learning from yall.

For the mix I'd say take some click off the bass and turn it down some, for those leads your guitar may be a bit out of tune,
And the guitar seems kinda thin but I'm only listening through headphones so that could just be me :\
Keep workin on it man this is way better than my first mix ;D

The kick sounds like the ball clap samples that Jeff posted a while back.
As already mentioned, the guitars are really thin. What did you use for the drums by the way? I'd probably redo the drum tones from scratch.

+1 ... was thinking about that, too!

The drums were programmed by the guitar player that tracked this... I have no say in what samples he used & he doesnt want me to change them so the drumscare kinda off limits...

What can i do to the guitars to make them less thin?

It's like the "New American Gospel" kick.

Tell your guitarist you won't change the samples he used if you want the kit to sound awful and robotic. Guitars need more gain and more meat.

I dont know if i agree about more gain... Between 5 & 6 on a 6505+ is about as much gain as you can ever get... I will try to boost the mids & see if i cant fatten the guitars up though...

Any tips as to how to make the guitars sound less thin?? They are parallel conpressed & double tracked on every part...

new mix... Lemme know what you thin the kick is different i did some effects at parts and what not... I tried to beef the guitars any help would be greatly appreciated... Later i will replace the cymbal samples with ones i have taken of cymbals...

By the way this track is not mastered at all just mixed to -6db on the master fader so that could be a reason it sounds a little thin so keep that in mind...

Any advice on the new mix
