So I'm using POD farm 2 and sonar x3. I have to admit, nahihirapan ako sa mix ng guitar.
Im really a drummer and switched to home recording due to my work.

Can you give me tips on how you achieved your tone? I know its different per individual pero hanap ko lang is yung decent tone.

I have ezmix2 but its more of a pain than a tool.

This is what im previously workin on;

for this specific mix, I think the guitar tone is being muddled by the drums. Yung resonance ng drums sumasapaw dun sa bass, and to an extent sa mids ng guitar. since scooped yung guitar sound I think makakatulong yung konting push sa high end para may sizzle, plus isang manipis na boost sa frequency kung saan malakas yung sipa ng guitars sa may bandang mids/high mids para mag cut sa mix. tapos taas mo pa yung guitars sa mix ng konti, pati yung snare. kung may reverb yung kick tanggalin mo na lang, hayaan mo yung bass yung magprovide ng resonance.

di ko alam kung samples yung drums, but anyway, I'd EQ the kick to just have mostly the attack, or pick a drier sample without a boom. that will give more space for the guitar tapos kusang lulutang sa mix yan. if you need more attack without sacrificing resonance, pwede mo i-duck yung bass track (google it, it's a favorite house/EDM technique)
pero kung gusto mo ng quick pampaganda ng guitar tone, idaan mo yung guitar tracks sa Sonic Maximizer na plugin

tame you low end sir mas na overpower nya yung guitars. bass is there to support. maybe multiband compressor is what you need for your bass. guitar tone wise there is a little mud i think you need to lower down on the gain dept. lead tone needs more mid bumbs. over all i like your production. i hope you post more.

ewan ko kung pwede pumili sa garageband ng ibang snare sample pero mas bagay ata pag mas high pitched yung snare. more mids and highs sa guitar for more clarity, or cut a frequency in the karton mids zone. J/humbucker bass ba yan? dagdagan mo ng mids basta tunog P bass na open yung tone pot. otherwise a good recording 

[jake z]

Wow- thanks sa instant replies.

Yup- thats home recording.

So for the drums, I used ezdrummer 2. So limited yung effects gamit ko yung kit ni haake thats why the sound is like that.

For the rhythym guitar, wala na ko nilagay na effects sa daw, same goes with the lead (wow, di naman marunong) part.

Marami pa kong stuff just like that.

Plug: looking for collaborators:)

di ako familiar sa ez drummer but I think it's better to use a less resonant kit. or since plugin naman yan, swap out the kick for a studio tuned one. resonance is all over the place. the kit would work great on arena rock but not on something this complex

Try lang.

  Thank you for the comments, to be honest... super starter palang ako sa recording, I just watch youtube vids and pindot pindot lang sa reaper kung ano sa tingin ko ay maganda hehe  . It is nice to hear from experts here! I will apply those feedback to my recording then let's see

Naka 7 ako sir pero naka Db standard. Dadayo ka nga lang ng Las Piņas.

maalamat sa layo bro

[jake z]

Anyways, I think na set up ko na ng maayos yung superior drummer. Ill upload a clip tomorrow and I'll try your suggestions.

1.  Medyo bumubuga yun tunog ng mix mo. Ingat ka sa compression at limiter (kung meron man).
2.  Try mo irecord yun rhythm guitars ng naka hard pan sa left and right channel. Tunog one-dimensional kasi kapag nasa gitna lang yun guitar tracks. Matrabaho pero totally worth it.
3.  Lagyan mo na kauting realistic velocity yun palo sa drums para may dynamics.

Overall, I like the track. Masarap sa tenga yun melody.

Spot on!

Dagdag ko lang din na para lumitaw yun clarity ng notes sa guitars and since naka 7s ka, try to lessen the gain/saturation and boost the mids a bit. Daanin mo na lang sa aggressive picking attack para bumigat yun tunog.

[binting]

suggest ko sana pede tayo gawa ng thread dedicated per song kasi nasasapawan yung ibang mga kanta sayang kasi

[Boxedking]

Actually meron thread para sa pagpost ng mga recordings dito. Check mo yun Soundclick thread sa GC ni Maestro Perf.

[jgmredor]

So i tried how hahaha! Recorded his guitar tracks.

Guitar to pedalboard to blackstar ht1-r head then ran it through irig pro then garageband for ipad.

Parang nagimprove naman sound. What do you think? Thanks!

I like these mixes in general (ang iikli nung clips napakinggan ko lahat  ). hindi muddy! just tone down the kick a bit and bring up the bass a little more and you're golden

ako hindi expert hobbyist lang ) tsaka ang tagal ko nang hindi nagrerecord ang papangit na ng mga mix ko compared sa inyo

1. Yes meron siyang Compression and Limiter, galing mo! hehe! so babawasan ko yun dapat?   
2. I am still learning kung paano ba yang panning and channels, kaya gitna lang talaga halos lahat.
3. In my drums sa garageband, medyo ma trabaho siya talaga  , I am planning to use my Electric Drums nalang for recording. --- though I still need practice at nahihirapan din ako mag drums using metronome-- as in hirap na hirap talaga ako at hindi ako natural drummer! hehe!  kaya more practice!

Salamat sir sa Feedback dami kong natutunan!  -- this is a new song I created for my band glad you liked it!

1. compress individual tracks instead of the whole track. nagkaka pumping shiz yan dahil sa mga malakas na transient, at usual culprit dyan yung kick drum.
2. yung panning para lagyan ng lugar at space yung bawat instrument sa sound stage. so kunwari may dalawang guitar ka na pareho ang timbre tapos sabi mo, ay parang muddy sya, i-pan mo sila magkabila tapos manonotice mo magcclear up sya dahil may sariling space na sya sa sound stage.
3. gamitin mo yung electronic drums as triggers for the software drums, tapos i-quantize mo  sasakto na sya sa grid pero yung velocity data mo human pa rin. pag nagpprogram ako ng drums sakto sa grid pero patayan mag randomize ng velocity. yung humanize option kasi random ang velocity compared to actual drumming na sa downstroke mas malakas. so ginagawa ko yun manually.
