The Well with Reamped Guitars

[dcp10200]

Basically it's a lot of work to get this sounding good

It's a tricky mix, you'e got a good bass and guitar starting point, who cares if you need to re sample the drums to get them to work, at the end of the day you need to put in work to get this as awesome sounding as possible. I ust compressed the living day lights out of the vocals, used some high passing at 200 Hz and a couple of parametric cuts to clean up the crap. From there I ran em through some tape saturation and a bit of reverb.

This is very good practice here for a more real world situation, most indie metalcore/djent bands don't have a huge budget obviously and a lot of the time their raw tracks have the same problem that this track has. This is where the problem solving happens, the drums sound like crap no matter what you do with em, use some samples, the guitar tone isn't tight enough or doesn't work with the track, use the DIs through Bias or use a reamp box through your amp of choice. Really it comes down to finding the simplest solutions that give the best results, not throwing a bunch of plugins at it to no avail and calling it "Tweaked" or "Natural"
