Could we have mid boosted version of this video?

[@solarnewborn]

I’m getting the impression that Andy Chinn might not like mids all that much. I could be wrong tho

[@TheChrispablo]

this song goes so fucking hard

[@MixReady]

Loving the 'less is more' approach here! 🤓

that song fkn rips

[@andychinn7674]

Scoop out tbose mids on tbe rhytm tracks, My riff eq is a smikey face and my leads solo is a frown

[@lukebogartmix]

no thanks ur wrong

[@Durkhead]

​@@lukebogartmixhes not wrong scooping the mids on rythem makes room for the vocals and leads. But its a balancing act cause if you scoop too much they sound thin. Also somtimes just adding 3k to already scooped guitars makes for a brutal sound

[@andychinn7674]

the point being you're gonna add 59 more. EQ"S up in there, but if you got 89 mids ticking up on plus 29, your tone is gonna sound like c*** period you'll listen to Pierce from a Pierce from within suffocation guitar tone as a guitar tone. That's what it needs to be sounded like and they're doing that on 6 strings. These guitar geeks get 8 strings PLAY 2 STRINGS CRANK THEN MIDS!! AND WANT TO RENAME A WHOKE GENRE OF MUSIC AFTER SOMEHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PERSON HAVING A SEIZURE AT A METAL SHOW!!! PPPPPPPPFFFFFFF SPIRIT CRUSHED!@ DROP MIC BYE ! DONT WORRY I WILL NOT COMMENT AGAIN I FORGOT ABOUT THE SENSITIVITY AGE WE ARE IN!! THAT IS THE DIFF BETWEEN A GUITAR GEEK AND A TRUE METAL MAN!!!
