Someone mentioned NY Avatar kicks being not so good for metaL. The "guillotine" preset is pretty solid. You can start from that if you still want to try using avatar kicks.

Sounds good to me man. As someone else mentioned: the clean part is the only thing I noticed that doesnt mix well. Maybe some more mids on the bass guitar but that's just a preference. If you dont mind, post the guitar only track of this so I can mix my own better. Im not the best with low...

Anyone have general suggestions on how to properly mix low end in a metal mix. Some issues I have noticed is (flabby or wobbly) low end in my guitars; I cut out some of this with EQ but I want to maintain the low end without cutting too much; cutting too much the guitars sound thin and weak...

I have not decided whether to put vocals up on my tunes but have entertained the idea. Here's an idea of the sound from a somewhat sloppy recording: https://soundcloud.com/dfrene/sp22-nn

One thing making your tone sound less wide is the bass mids. You have the bass a good volume but when you hit open notes it seems a little too loud. Im guessing it is centered which coupled with strong mids is pulling the sound to center for some parts. Your guitars alone sounds comparable...

The driver selected should be default for everything in Cubase. The reason may be resolved in the VST Connections section in cubase. For tracks, I manually select the bus, (mono 1 or whatever) for each track then save the project. If you want to add another bus go to "one of the options...

Coincidental you say that. Recently, I tried mixing my actual bass guitar distorted sound with FL synth basses. It didnt work out to good though. Haha. Ill have to find a different way to get more "fart". I dont want to lose my actual bass guitar sound though. For piano I use a stock FL...

Sound legit man. What are you using for that bass tone (Im assuming thats what Im hearing) btw? I love that rip ass, farting bass sound. No sarcasm; I really prefer that. haha. That piano tone I sense is from FL Studio.

A sound demo I have seems to clip at 2 specific parts in the track ONLY while I play the track through my computer's audio driver which has some internal Bose sound settings...but it continues to clip or "scratch" even when I turn the Bose settings off. I am unsure if this is actual clipping...

KonekoooooO! Your master sounds pretty good. If it's not too much trouble definitely send me those screen shots. I can learn a lot from that. As for trusting my ears: before I had the visual EQ of Izotope my guitar mixes were pretty horrible; EQing off of the visual display balanced out my...

So im a relative noob here looking for some mastering tips for metal. What do you do to go about raising the overall volume of your mix? How do you adjust mix to fit into this (for instance I probably have a snare too loud, how do I know this? is there visual plugins? limiters?) This is a...

NIce job man. What did you use for guitar tone?

The "humanize" features are pretty useless imo. (I am only speaking from exp. with Superior D 2) They're useful for a more human feel on stuff that needs to be essentially the same volume (the same kick played twice is slightly (almost noticeably different velocity and I think pitch as...

Music = legit. On the mix: the melodic stuff sounds great. Teh guitar + kick combination feels a little hollow like it needs more of a punch.

Bass is not mixed too well. https://soundcloud.com/dfrene/sp8

@ 2:42 Im not gonna lie, I Loled at first but that was actually a pretty sick scream. Good shit

I have been attempting to produce a "fatter" sound and this mix is the result so far....wasn't exactly using traditional methods. I feel the guitar tracks could be blended a little smoother with some EQ-ing. What you think? https://soundcloud.com/dfrene/sp1

Tone.....Ive been there, done that, and still doing that. Try not to let it take over actually composing and playing. Im not sure about EzDrummer, but I use Superior for drums and some of the stock presets sound great. I do not really mix my drum tracks at all...not sure if that's a custom mix...

tight chops on those triplets. Good shit.

The guitars sound like they would be good with tone if they were not so "far" sounding; how did you record the guitars? panned left/right? And what are you using for the drum track?
