Monzter Guitars I & II are well-stocked with a specifically rich and powerful sound,
ready to rock. You don’t really have to make your mind about pre-amps,
distortions and recording techniques – it all comes out of the box.
So far, so good. But – what does it really sound like in the overall mix, including
drumkit(s), bass, synths and more ? Here are some frequently asked questions
about how to get the best out of the sample package in regard to any further
mixing processes.
• Monzter Guitars in the mix:
“I've been having lots of fun with the Monzter Guitars (I and
II). Do you have a quick tip for sitting these in mixes? I find the more
distorted my guitar tracks, the harder it is to fit them in, especially with
vocals. They compete with the lead vocal big time.”
Try to deal with some post-effects and the overall volume / loudness ratio.
Monzter Guitars got a very powerful broad range of frequencies. The major
tricks are to
1: equalize the frequencies the right way; roughly, around 800hz-5khz. As a
personal taste, I do always lower the bass range sound-wise (60-150hz), to
get more room for the real bass.
2: use (upward) compression and / or limiting tools on your vocal tracks
3: don’t necessarily pan or double Monzter Guitars left-right, as you already
got stereo samples.
