So how do you guys do it? Individually the guitars all sound pretty great, and mixed together they sound huge, but as those upper harmonics begin to pile on top of each other and occupy the space of cymbals in a very non-musical way.
So do you EQ that out? Multi-band compression? Both? What are your tricks to handling this?
The mix I'm working on has 5 guitars in it:
Two heavy rhythm guitars, somewhat scooped and hard panned - lots of high end content here.
One heavy rhythm guitar that's much more balanced, more mids, nice and solid right up the center.
One guitar playing natural harmonics, highly distorted, very chimey panned about 70% left.
One guitar playing a "glue the verse together" lead 70 % right, nice and syrupy.
The last two also have delays panned opposite, but with a low pass at around 4k, so not much contribution here.
What would you do?
