Meshuggahish tune

As long as I have listened to your mix a couple of times, I can honestly say that mix is really tight and well-sounding.
In my opinion, your sound would be even more of Meshuggah if you lowered your tuning a little bit. Still, even with the present tuning guitars sound really good. If you allow me to give some pieces of advice concerning guitars, I'd recommend to put some smart EQ (Ozone, FreeFilter) on the guitar tracks in order to achieve particular Meshuggah sound. Another damn good thing was mentioned by one bro at this forum: to combine hi- and low-gain guitar tracks in both channels in order to reach the cooperation of distorted meat and a sound of low strings note.
I wish the kick could be a little bit more clicky, but it still sounds good without that, so, please, consider this as my small pieces of advice to the good sounding mix.
Thanks.

The Unavoidable

It's sounds great, I would just like less reverb on the snare. Maybe a more compressed SMACK sound out of the snare, and some more attack in the kick. I really dig the riffing going on, Meshuggah goes melo-death haha! Actually, now that I think about it, aside from the snare I mentioned this is a fucking great mix. Good job!
I'd also say the kick could do with quite a bit more click. I agree with The Unavoidable on the snare sound, it could do with a bit less reverb. I don't think it helps that the reverb has a fairly boxy sound to it. Also maybe fiddle with a bit of parallel compression on the drums.
I would also turn the bass down a bit, and maybe add some distortion(not necessarily turn it down, but it does sound a bit woofy at the moment, might sound better with some Overdrive though dude), as it sounds just like DI'd bass but with a bit of a low boost.
Really like the riffing!
Guitars sound sweet! If it were me I'd add a bit of a high-mid boost, but that's just personal taste.
Awesome stuff man!

He whom thou art not
exafro I've listened to a lot of your stuff since I first heard it via Harmony-Central. You write some great stuff but this mix seems a bit muffled/woofy to me. I know jack about mixing so I can't really explain it in terms of constructive criticism. It seems like the cymbals/snare lack high-end definition and the kick is a bit thumpy. The guitars sound good and the bass, well, it's a bass, who cares? ( just kidding, not really, but seriously )
BTW - Which TonePort do you have? I was looking at this but I can't find anywhere where it says whether or not this thing can record both mic inputs and both guitar inputs at the same time or not. If it does 4 in's at once I can't see why not to get it. My buddy needs something that'll work with his Mac G5. So far the M-Box and M-Audio firewire 410 have all been no-go even with 3 different versions of Mac OS ( 9.x, 10.3 and 10.5 )

Thanks metal, I don't have the best monitoring system over here so any comment really helps. About the Toneport, I have the Ux-1, and I can record both inputs at once. I think you should be able to record all 4 inputs at once. It wouldn't make sense to have them all if you couldn't, but this is Line 6 we are talking about here
