Mixing for technically demanding metal
Your mix falls apart when everything hits at once.
I mix technically demanding metal for musicians who know exactly what their music should sound like, and don't have the hours to close that gap themselves.
/ Death metal / Black metal / Tech death / Prog / Blackgaze / Thrash + Other extreme styles
Sound familiar?
It sounds right in your head. Not in the mix.
Speed Fast parts lose definition. Blast beats and tremolo picking smear into mush.
Drums Kick and snare get buried the moment the rhythm guitars come in.
Low end The bass is either missing or swallowing everything below 250Hz.
Width Guitars are panned hard, and still collapse into the middle.
One root cause. Frequency masking: too many instruments fighting for the same frequencies in a fast, dense arrangement. Fixing that is what I do.
