HELP! Difficulties getting a professional mix

[Septurae]

Hello everybody,

I've been experiencing this problem since I started making metal. My mix just doesnt sound right, especially the guitars. I would love some live help with this problem, we can chat via skype or whatever.

Here's an example:
I've covered Whitechapel in this one:

I've been experimenting with guitar vst's such as Shreddage 2 for Kontakt, and im using some TSE free amps.

My skype:

Thanks in advance

Are you using cab simulation vst's?
Maybe try quad tracking with low pass filter?
Or double track with less high and more mid and bass.

Less highs on the guitar. Way less! Use a Hi pass filter to tame the shrillness and adjust to taste. Start there.

Lo-pass filter I mean. Sorry!
