Metal Guitars – Recording & Mixing for Carach Angren

In this video, I walk through my approach to recording and mixing metal guitars in a real production context. No quad tracking, no unnecessary layers — just two guitar tracks, intentional choices, and a focus on clarity, weight, and translation. The session is based on a Carach Angren production, but the concepts apply to any modern metal mix: tight performances, controlled low end, midrange focus, and guitars that stay aggressive without turning messy. If you’re struggling with over-layered guitars, weak impact, or mixes that fall apart under density, this approach may help you simplify — and improve results. 👍 If this was useful, leave a like 💬 Questions or thoughts?
