#136: How to Make Guitar Stand Out in a Mix (PRODUCER KICKSTART: VYLT)

If you are looking for mixing tips on topics like how to mix multiple guitars, how to get my guitar to sit in the mix, where should the guitar be panned in a mix, how can I make my guitar sound more interesting, or maybe even just how do you make an instrument stand out in a mix. Then check out EP 136 of the Inside The Mix podcast where horror synth/dark synth/synth metal music producer VYLT joins me for a Producer Kickstart Strategy Session.

Step into the shadowy realm of horror synth as I catch up with the enigmatic VYLT, Singapore's witchy wave maestro. Whether you're a producer looking to refine your mix or a fan of spine-tingling dark synth, you'll gain insider knowledge on mixing low-end frequencies and the alchemy of EQ and compression to bring out the soul in guitar tracks.

Horror meets harmony as we explore the technical labyrinth of music production. Learn the secrets behind the perfect mix, understand the context of each track and avoid the pitfalls of overzealous EQ that can haunt your final product. I also dissect the virtues of natural band-pass filtering and debate the merits of recording guitars through an amp versus a simulator. This episode peels back the layers of distortion, compression, and dynamic preservation, giving you the tools to craft audio that maintains the natural essence of sound while fitting perfectly into your musical incantation.

Finally, I reveal a trove of creative production tricks that could be your secret weapon. Imagine your double-tracked guitars not just doubling, but towering over your mix with an unexpected auxiliary send trick. I cover the spectrum from panning to centred signals, and manual automation, and celebrate the philosophy of sound: if it's cool, it's the rule. And before the spirits of inspiration fade, I spotlight VYLT Viola's latest track release, a testament to the power of embracing the unique and the unknown in music production.
