Here's the latest mix I have, for a song on the upcoming Vortech release. No vocals yet, as we will record them soon.
Guitars - TSS + quadtracked Lecto + spreshigh (passive JB pups)
Bass - split DI signal, both heavily compressed, plus various distortion plugins on the high one
Drums - SD2.0 Avatar, kick drum is a blend between Machine Head kick1 + a distorted 606 kick for extra bass oomph
What really opened up the mix for me was really aggressively boosting the higher frequencies of all guitars and the overheads. Previously I never boosted, and they made them sound a bit dull. Also, I was really sparing with the master channel limiting: I brought down the input gain to -40 or so in Ozone, until there was no clipping present in the input. It surprised me when the level is still very comparable to Demanufacture and The Great Cold Distance

kind of feels like I'm at the dentist. I think it's a bit much. In general, I don't think you left room for vocals. But it's very aggressive which is cool! I was about to say sounds like a Scandinavian mix and then I see you're from finland, haha.
