Hi! I know I'm new here but I hope you guys can help me. So I'm recording the first EP of my band, we play symphonic metal (not the gothic stuff) Dream Theater, Epica, Adagio, Symphony X are some of our influences. When I was mixing the orchestra (french horns, violins, cellos, violas, tubas, xylophone, etc) with the drums it sounded really awesome, the drums and orchestra were perfect but then I tracked the guitars(1 right 1 left) which sound awesome when soloed. When I listened to the whole thing, either the guitars were too loud or the orchestra was to loud, I just can't find a way to make the perfect mix and give each sound its place in the mix. I emailed Ola hoping he would have some advice for my problems but he sent me here, so does anyone out there have some experience with this type of music? thanks!
