What is wrong with this?

ok I picked up Superior drummer 2.0 and have been giving that a world, my old BFD was like 8 years old.

I think the bass sounds cool, but those guitars, I tried using a few different impulse response cabs and a Seymour Duncan Twin tube (great for more classic distortion)

But well, its a mess from the guitars..

My experience with EQ and compression always makes stuff sound poor, toppy and shite.

Not trying to be an asshole but it doesn't sound like you really understand what EQ and compression can do for you, which is evidenced by the poor production quality in your clips. Don't blame the tools until you know how to use them and can explain exactly why they don't work.

What would really be interesting is for you to upload the raw tracks of everything and let someone have at it, even just a 30 second section would do. Then you can hear what other people can do with YOUR tracks using EQ and compression, etc. Then they could explain how they are using it via screen shots or something. Would be really a great way to learn.

Would anyone do this for me? If I just upload a short section?

Looks like he knew exactly what he was doing.

I thought you shouldn't be fixing it in the mix? Your saying good production comes from EQ and Compression..

hmm interesting?

No, you are putting words in my mouth. That is not what I said at all. Part of your problem is you are adhering to RULES. With mixing, recording, mastering, etc. there are no rules. Whatever it takes to get the job done is pretty much the only "rule." You are taking things way too literal and it's only going to hinder your progress.

Upload the tracks from a 30 second section of the song and we can show you what we are talking about. People WILL participate, we all enjoy little bits to work on for fun.

exactly!

I wish i never had to compress or EQ things, but thats totally unrealistic bc you are almost always gonna have to do a little something.
