What a PIA mix. I had 3 main challenges to do on this and it took me a long while. 1) Get as much thump out of the kick before distorting the speakers while not muddying up the bass. 2) Get as much sustained bass out of the bass track without muddying up the kick, and allowing some of that top end fingering attack to come through. 3) Try to get a single solo-rhythm tone out of my Jackson KillStrat by not switching to any distortion pedals, boosts, or modulation effects, and not do any double tracking.
#3 was (and still is) really hard. I like a tight low end for rhythm but if it's too tight then the solo notes get too chimey and the mids get this "coke bottle" harmonic effect. I was able to leave some sponginess on the low end and keep the solo part warmer but with a lot of EQing. I used Choptones Brit 2KT6 23 profile that he posted for free.
I'm not quite there yet but feel I got to 90% of what I wanted to do. So I am dumping this tune off on you for now. I hope the gang chimes in. Thanks!
