Hi Everyone, I am new to recording and so far I have not figured out how to record huge metal mixes like I hear from so many players on Youtube.
I have the equipment but I lack the knowledge.
I record with Studio One 2 Daw
My KPA into my Focusrite 816 audio interface
For drums I use Toontrack VST's
Carvin guitar and Bass
Here is my process. I pick a profile I like and record two tracks hard panned left and right. Then I record a bass track centered. It sounds okay but can get muddied together. I dont know much about EQ'ing so I am wondering if I need to be doing some EQ'ing to the tracks. If so what do I do and which frequencies should I mess with? I fiddled a bit with aplugin in Studio One called Pro EQ but I didnt know what knobs I should be turning and all I did was screw my tones up even further.
I really want that in your face full guitar sound with crisp clear tones and maximum heaviness. I really want to learn how to do proper recording.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
