Greetings.
I've noticed I'm having some problems at choosing the right guitar tone. I know it's basically to trust your ears and to search for it to sound good within the mix. But I often try and without success.
For example this is my latest mix I'm working at. AN for the overall sound I'm quite satisfied until I add the guitars. I didn't track the guitars myself so the original guitar sound was way to muddy in order to use it. So i tried my luck with the DI track. While using the tss before the Legion sim with the preshigh impulse. I really tried to take my time in creating the right Guitar sound. But I'm receiving comments about having to scoop it or that its sounding too digital (especially on the palm mutes). Do you guys have any pointers you try to follow when choosing the right distortion ? And perhaps could you tell me (just in case it isn't worth creating the guitar tone myself with the sims) which one of you i could ask for good reamps? My main problem is, that I'm not a guitarist, and have usually never LISTENED to the guitar in the music I listen to. And now that I have to do this, I don't know at which part of the character of the guitar to listen at. I would be very grateful if you guys could help me out!
Thanks
here is the mix I'm talking about:
