Melodic Death Metal (Need help)

[JasinElric]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to get this song done for almost a month and I'm out of ideas.



Guitar Chain:
Hellraiser C1> Quad Tracked> LePou 456> Guitar Hacks IRs

Bass Chain:
Squire Jazz Bass>Waves BassRider>PodFart sims

Drums:
Superior Drummer with Metal Machine

I feel like I might have gone a little heavy on the 2bus but it sounds pretty poopy without it.

I'm going for a kind of Mors Principium Est kind of sound, and I'm NO WHERE near it.

Any advice would be killer. Thanks in advance!

Guitars need some mids taken out. Very hollow sounding. Maybe add a gritty bass track.

I have the hallow problem with all my mixes. I'll try making some midrange cuts. By grit, do you mean like a distorted track? I have some distortion on the bass, not too much though. It's broken down into 3 groups, DI, sub bass, and amp/distortion.

Yeah try adding some more grit to it and maybe think about putting a light chorus on just the grit track. The drums could be brought up in relation to the guitars to, but that might just be the mids eating them up.

I did some mid cuts, lowered the mid on the amp, added more distortion on the bass grit track and raised the drums a few dB. It sounds like a step in the right direction to me, but I think my ears are shot >.<
