Tone/mix match of The Contortionist's "Exoplanet"

[_wayfarer]

Hey guys. Spent the last week or so tweaking my Axe-Fx tone and this mix to get as close as I possibly could to the "Exoplanet" sound. Decided to just do an 18 second clip from the intro of "Advent".

Here's the original:

Here's my mix: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9951988/AdventFinalMix2.mp3

How does it sound?

Note: I am tuned a half step above them.

too much low mids compared to the actual track

plop some C4 on that bitch and compress the low mids

7 string djent tone get a lot of mids from going mad with a tube screamer, around the honky mids, 500-800hz. Yours are cool and right in the low end and attack, but the low mids are a little boomy. Compress them.

Oh yeah, I forgot they used six strings on Exoplanet! Thanks for the tips everyone, I will definitely compress those low mids.

Okay, I used C4 to control some of those low mids and also found some nasty frequencies in the upper mids to eliminate in the guitar tracks. How does this sound? http://db.tt/3CjhqDFz

Your final mix sounds WAY better.
