I listened to all three tracks. I have one word. Phase. Don't understand how phase affects two separate sources? Research. Johnathan Little is a good place to start to understand what phase does to signals. Most people will try and add and subtract with EQ, compress, gate, slapping a distortion device across one or both of the sources.....All this does is add more phase anomalies to the problem. Which doesn't solve the original need.
When you begin to understand how phase and the control of phase affects your recordings, you will never again have to rely on stacks of plug-ins on a track just to get it to "sit" or to sound like it should. You will make cleaner and clearer recordings of even the dirtiest slamming guitar sounds imaginable and your CPU usage will be at a minimum.....which (if your daw needs support) will also provide a clearer representation of the tracks.
When you really start to "get it" you will begin to use EQ as a tone shaper NOT a repair tool and the compression added to a track will be clearer and you will find less of it is needed as it also becomes a shaper NOT a repair tool.
