Hey everyone, back with another awesome super noob question for the pros here on this forum.
So I wanted to know what frequencies do you guys usually "get rid of" when mixing guitars. I'm going to take a wild guess and diagnose that as the reason why my mixed sometimes turn out "cloudy" or "muddy" i guess you would say.
I've made the mistake of hunting for the guitar tone I like by itself and then when i try to mix it it with the rest it just sounded awful. Then, with a lot of trial and error (and thanks to the awesome people in this forum) I learned that the tone should complement the mix as a whole even if it sounds thin soloed.
THAT is what i just dont seem to be able to achieve. I end up clouding my mix with guitar and things like cymbals and rides and sometimes even snares dont jump out as much..rookie mistake? I hear records like Periphery or Oceano and I love how heavy the guitars sound, yet i can still hear everything in the mix, every little ride hit or ghost note on the snare comes through. Tips?
Please dont bash me, i'm still learning..hehe
oh and btw, thanks for all the replys to my past posts.
