Over the past week I've been working on my mixing a bit, I've always noticed that my mixes dipped around the 500Hz mark which does somewhat give it a more "metal" sound, but it also loses a lot of body of the mix. And when comparing to other mixes, while looking at the spectrum analyzer I could see theirs was almost a flat mix and mine had a huge dip in the mid range, so I tried to work on that this week.

I bought the Periphery Producer Packs months ago and I tried to recreate the guitar tone as close as I could, I recorded a short demo of Absolomb and to my ears it sounded almost as good, although slightly less polished than the original. The big change was my rhythm, it now has a lot more mid range to fill up the spectrum. I never really liked the boxy sound that the mids have and that's why I always avoided them, but to achieve a fully balanced mix you need them.
