Help my ass

[Jaymz]

Ive been comparing my mix to the Divinity mix on my new monitors (see thread) and I realised how tosh my guitars were. I just want to make them more pronunced and in your face WITHOUT boosting stupidly high frequencies to introduce a ton of fizz into the sound. Is compression the key? Im still struggling to get everything to fit well with each other. I just want a clear mix sir )

This is a general question.

Thanks

Are you using impulses? I'm pretty sure most people lowpass anything after 12000hz-13000hz and then give a little boost somewhere usually around 8k. It works well for me. I've also almost exclusively been using IIEQ on guitars with great results.

They are all the same eq, only different gui's.

No im not using any impulses. Ive got a LP and HP on but ive got a lot of boosts reccommended by Colin R. Ill have a bit more fiddle.

take off all the boost/cuts and start over.

I'm still trying to get guitar tones under control with my ears but i think my room is a big problem with hearing certain freq corect....

But honestly when my tone is to fizzy or harsh in highs i will low pass even further down than 12k..... shoot Ive went down to 9k before:Smug:

Thats the thing! I think my guitars sound brittle and too fizzy, Ill post a clip when im sober. I think there might be too much mid range then I think they sound too scooped yet fizzy...arg its so shit. I know the mic positioning was fine and the settings were DHIADW on my recto
