    mixing tips - metal

    cheers for that, the kick has been one of the problems, getting it to cut through the guitars. The problem with going to clicky is at times the guitars drop out in some songs, leaving a kick thats to clicky. As for the high pass and double tracking, thats already been done. Cheers
