The advice I got on that track was to keep the first 8 bars of the rhythm guitar exactly like I wanted it to sound - tone wise..Nice work.The lead seemed mixed kinda low to my ears, I wanted to hear more of your lead playing details.
I'll check it out!The advice I got on that track was to keep the first 8 bars of the rhythm guitar exactly like I wanted it to sound - tone wise..
Then, when the lead guitar comes in, switch the rhythm guitars to double-tracked (two mono tracks, one panned left, the other right), then run the lead guitar right in the center as a stereo track.
Additionally, the guy told me to try pulling out all the 400Hz and 1,600Hz of the rhythm guitar track as soon as the lead comes in. While I see what he's doing there.. it does get the rhythm guitars "out of the way" and create a space for the lead guitar to sit in the mix, there's a jarring transition between that change after the opening riff.
But I think on my next track I'll still take his advice, but maybe dial back that wild disparity between the two EQ curves on the rhythm guitars.
I tried this method on "Nadir" and I think it worked out pretty well.I'll check it out!
