I don't like the guitars. They are very bitey in the 1-2K region. It's easy to get thinking that pro guitars are mega bitey, but even the most aggressive guitars have a smooth quality to them. Try the "crank it up" test. Turn up X metal song really loud and see if anything hurts. Now turn up your mix really loud. That should illustrate my point.

What amp were you using?

I have a feeling that the amp is the culprit. This sounds similar to some of the Line6 amps that have made their way into my place.

thanks brandon. i'd try to do that. by the way, what is the 1-2k region?? im a nube in this and i need to get familiar with the terminologies in recording. im using a yamaha ar-1500 bass amp for my guitar. this is the only thing i have left coz my band mate sold my amp without my knowledge. what a bummer. im trying to get the best out of this amp. and can i also get an opinion on what amp should i buy to achive my dream tone for my genre??? what kind of eq preset or setting would be best for guitar tones like mine??? thanks!! i know you can help me on all of my queries brandon. im in desperate times right now. a lot of research for me hasn't paid off yet. thanks man. i know you're my savior. thankthanksthanks!!!

1-2k region is frequency region. Just use eq to change the frequency content of the guitar track with it. Also beat veariation or possibly alternating samples on the drums will make them sound more natural.

what is the 1-2k region??

Grab a parametric EQ. It's 1,000Hz - 2,000Hz.

what amp should i buy to achive my dream tone for my genre???

I can't help you there. You said "my" dream tone and I have a feeling it'll be different than my dream tone. That's a quest you'll have to pursue.

what kind of eq preset or setting would be best for guitar tones like mine???

Again, you are on your own. It doesn't work that way.

i know you can help me on all of my queries brandon.

Well, it looks like I wasn't a bit of help this time.

i know you're my savior.

Maybe, but I'm not dying for anyone's sins. It's too long until next Easter.
