Hi all! I'm relatively new to the mix/master process (just a couple of months in) and I'm working on some tracks that are tough to define an exact subgenre, I'd say blackened heavy metal best describes it. I feel like it sounds decent but it's too bright of a sound overall. I've tried reamping guitars with a darker tone, using different drum samples, soaking the vocals in reverb/delay, and adjusting faders and track EQ quite a bit. Everything is still fairly bright overall and doesn't give the "dark" sound we're going for.
Without any audio samples, is there any advice I can get on tips and tricks for darker mix tones? Thanks in advance!
