Everybody wants a bigger, wider guitar sound. The appeal of a huge guitar mix with the right combination of percussion and vocals is what makes many bands strive to replicate sounds of the past and the sounds of their peers. And if you’re here, you’re probably wondering how you can get a piece of that sound too.
In rock & metal, your guitars are your lifeblood. Sure, the vocals are the focal point at the center of the mix, the drums need to sound big, and the bass needs to be full and powerful, but guitars are the one element of your mix that can be stacked one on top of another filling out a huge amount of space in your mix.
Guitar production is key to a great rock or metal mix, and there are certain elements of tracking and mixing that have become commonplace in modern productions. These practices are something you should be putting in place on every session you hope to see the light of day. If you’re not, you’re going to be missing out to your competition.
