help with my guitars!

captawesm · 15th July 2006

ok, so im recording my band in my studio right now and we dont have much time to wrap up this ep. the drums sound tight but i cant get the guitars where i want them to be. we reamped them so the playing is tight and we have 6 tracks on each side worth of guitars to choose from. i mic'd with sm57s one on axis right in front of the dusk cap and on off axis a few inches away from the cap. i cant them punching as much as the drums are. anyway ive just tried some eq and C4 but its just not there yet. I was hoping to get some pointers. here is a "rough" mix of one of the track, just bass guitars and drums right now and the drums are like 70% mixed, this is actually a day or two old export so on the new ones the kick drum has more low end rolled off so it isnt so thumpy and there is some buss compression and the psp vintage warmer on the drums. im really just looking for some direction here, thanks for anything!!!
