Pretty easy way to really thicken up heavy guitars.ĮDIT: forgot to add, some people double up the riff with a totally clean version, no distortion, This can REALLY brighten up the guitar as well as adding a fuckton of punchyness. It will cloud stuff up too.įinally, double track your riffs (as in play each riff twice), and pan one hard left and the other hard right. Try for yourself.Ĭable hum/noise also adds up in the mix after compression and so on - noise is your enemy in this case. Extreme high frequencies in this case can have a similar effect.

You might have a lot of muddy rumble around 120hz-700hz also, it really depends on your whole setup, there is no recipe. Especially with palm muting, the more distortion you have, the less punch each strike of the string has. Turn it way down, and monitor how it fits in the mix at a lower volume so as to not fool your ears. Try various picks, makes quite the difference whether it's a long sharp one, a short thick stubby one, or a thin bendy one.ĭial back the distortion - extreme high gain might sound great when you're playing solo, but add that stuff to the mix and you run into trouble (unless you're Alec Empire or someone of that sonic nature), especially with lots of palm muting in your case. Is your guitar set up properly, is it in tune everywhere across the fretboard? Many people are often surprised at what a huge difference this makes.

The take(s) you recorded - is your actual playing up to scratch? Be honest with yourself. Another important thing to consider is garbage in = garbage out.Įverything Winterpark said, and may I add:
