We had only 30 MIN for the PERFECT guitar sound - Studio battle feat.  

Who do you think got the better guitar sound? Which one do you prefer? A or B?

I feel the differently mixed bass was more influential than the guitar sound itself. Never the less very entertaining : )

I'd go with mix A: it's kind of dark but it holds a lot of detail

What is amazing is how different things have turned out. It's basically the same riffing but mixed totally differently. Each, though, has its good points.

There are things I preferred in both mixes but I would go with A overall.

Very brave of everyone involved!

I hope this becomes a series, man!!!!

I gotta go with Mix B on this one. It sounds so much fuller/rounder of a tone. On the flip side, Mix A was a more balanced mix with the drums. But for guitar tone, Mix B, 100%.

Mix A has much better clarity to me, although it feels a bit crunchy and could do with more gain. Mix B is kinda muffled and overly mid-heavy, but has a better gain level. I'd go with Mix A personally.

I like the separation/space of mix B more, but overall prefer the glue and cohesiveness of Mix A.

Mix A. This was fun guys!

Recording and mixing guitars in 30 minutes? How crazy is that?

Hm I’m thinking mix B was you guys and mix A was Glenn. I’m still a bit confused when it comes to re amping, but I’ll figure it out eventually! Top stuff and absolutely awesome sounds especially considering the time limits you set.

Love the width of Mix B, however Mix A gets the replay value for me. I think of Mix B like a live venue sound of an amp I would want to play through.

I love the flanging when the camera walks around the amps

Cool but where can we download the files?

Both reamped guitars sound good. I prefer the guitar (s) on Mix B, to me it sounds far more accentuated. Also the crappy drums on Mix A begin to disturb me... I think Mix B is the drums and the guitar Mix done by Glenn. It simply makes more sense to me, I believe I can hear a direction, where this mix heads to. Oh that will be funny if I am completely wrong 😱😂

The guitar on Mix A is awesome!

Guitars are better in Mix A to my ears (but I like the drums in B here).

With the drums I had no definite winner, but with the guitars (& bass) it's Mix A for me! Again, cool to see a little bit of insight on both processes! Thanks for this.

Why didn't you level-match the mixes?

The bass is really upfront on mix B. I prefered A this time as it was smoother and a little less raw

where can i download the feiles?

Loved the Bass on B, the guitars too but the drums in A were more to my taste.

As soon as I heard the lewitt guy speak on glens video, I said “I bet they use meinl cymbals” lol.

HOLY SMOKES GLENN!

Mix A was the winner for me. Overall it was more consistent and balanced.

I use the 440 and 220 and they sound great!

I'm at the SD website and cant find anywhere to sign up for the tracks. Ideas?

I like the guitars on Mix A. They have a "heavier" sound to me. Both are pretty decent tho!

Amazing work for only half and hour, but I think A is the better of the two for me.

Where is the link to the multi-tracks? This would be a great opportunity for me to mix metal! Thanks in advance :)

The overall mix was better with mix A, but the tone was a bit better with mix B. I think some more time on mix B would lead to a better overall track, but the polish on A gives it a win for me.

Both sounded great! I'm curious who'll win

Okay so here’s where you hear the decisions of the drum mix really affecting the moves for everything else. I liked the drum mix “Mix A” on the last video, which is now mix B on this one, but I think the fact that they were so up front and aggressive necessitated mixing the guitars and bass similarly and the end result is not good at all in my opinion. The more natural sound of drum mix “Mix B” (now mix A) allowed for much smoother guitars that could sit back a little further and blend better in the mix without having to fight the drums for space. It’s very eye-opening to me. Taken on their own the drums sounded a little better one way, but it forced some decisions in the guitars and bass that I really don’t like. And the more natural sounding drum mix that at first sounded weak now leaves room for a much more pleasing guitar and bass tone that makes the entire mix sound much better and actually makes me like the drums more now. It’s a lot to take in and think about, and it’s definitely something I’ll be keeping in mind the next time I’m mixing a song.

I feel A has a better more balanced mix overall but I'm kind of digging some of the things going on with the guitar and bass on mix B.

is there any way to download the multi tracks for this? It's been two months and there is still no download link :(

guitars in Mix A sounded "woofy", but the overall mix seemed better...as others have said, the bass in Mix B kinda' ruined it even though the guitar sounded way better

First off.. I dig Lewitt mics.. 2nd, I think both mixes have their merits.. I think mix A in this video is the same as mix B in the drum video. I also think that mix is Glens mix.. I like the focus of that mix however i really dig the slappiness of the bass of mix B in this video.. Again both mixes are fun and I'd love to give it a shot at mixing these instruments! Just within the last 2 1/2 years I have been recording and mixing my own music as well.. I definitely want to get some Lewitt mics but I'm not quite at that stage yet.. Great videos!

I'd like to take a stab at mixing those tracks. Where can I get the files? There is no link in the description after "Download the files:"

Mix A is a lot tighter and I like that.

I like mix a, the attack of the notes are solid. Mix b is darker but that bass though!

Thats Mix a in guitars and rather mix b in drums for me. Depends on speakers im using. Waiting for the great disclosure. Great video idea! Cheers!

Glenn was on Mix B. Couldn’t say which I prefer. Good job guys.

Who panned Glenn's lav?

so... I think everybody wants to know, what monitors are those? I'm sure it's mostly the room, but it wouldn't work without great monitors too.

Both mixes have their pros and cons. I wonder how they would sound mixed together.

Mix A sits in the mix better. A bit less mid-range than B, but it works.

Mix A - LEWITT Mix B - SSS Mix B actually has bass in it. And I have to go with Mix B bc it ended up being fuller.

I didn't really mind the bass in mix b. Maybe a tad high but I kinda like the effect of hearing more frequencies from the bass itself. So yeah, I favor mix b.

A for sure!

Gotta go with B for the mix. Lots of separation and detail. But both guitar sounds were great for different reasons.

I found mix A a lot clearer and tight, but the leads on B were pretty delicious

I'm going with mix A as Glenns.

I commented on this mix off already..but hat's off to Lewitt Mic's. A mix is a personal thing and what you want your ear to hear through your mix. Lewitt very effectively captured audio. I don't own any Lewitt mic's..but they sound good to me. It's like comparing apples to oranges..but to get to the bottom line..does the mic work? Kudos Lewitt.

I prefer mix a. I could listen to that for a lot longer.

Weird how that bass sound is so different between the mixes. Will have to go again with mix A. Not an easy chose though.

I prefer the clarity of Mix A than B - B sounds like there's a sock over the strings.

A+

Guitar sound I like Mix A, it's heavier and crisp and dark. B sounds a bit hollow; however, with the overall mix and room for other frequencies, I prefer Mix B because you can hear the bass and other instruments well, but as this is a tone challenge, I prefer A.

A Both are great. A was quieter but it felt tighter and more well rounded. B was great too but it was really dark sounding to my ears.

Prefer guitar tone in B, but I hate the bass tone personally. So I gotta go with A, where the bass sounded super tight.

Was mix B on mix A from last times drums and vice versa?! I'm so confused. I liked A better on this one. B needed a bit more gain or overdrive.

One mic pointing down towards the floor one almost center of the speaker.

Guitars in B are better in themselves, but the overall mix of A is way better. So my vote goes to A: their guitars work with that mix. Guitars in B got a bit eaten up by the bass. Side note: B was louder.

I vote for A. The guitar sound was crisper, for lack of a better term.

I think that maybe the guitar tone is better on mix A, because mix B sounds like it's relying a little more on the other instruments in the mix for presence and overall top end. Kinda hard to tell what the guitar sound really is. B does sound like a better, or at least more top ended mix, or closer to what we normally hear anyway, but I also didn't really like the spitty bass that seemed like it often would peak and sound out of place. It covered up the guitar too much when it did that. It sounded as if Mix A would be better if mastered, but Mix B sounds a little better right now.

i go with B in this one sounds super clear. i little to much of the bass guitar but still good

Mix A!

Mix A… the Mix B is good too, but the mix A is very good!

Mix A again. For both guitars and drums.

I like B just needs a tighter dist, maybe some maag eq.

Idk, they each had their pros and cons but I guess B as it sounded clearer to me. The guitars had way too much mids though. Edit: shit on second listen, A would probably be better for a full mix with vocals added on. They just don’t have any presence to my ears in this mix

I felt Mix A was a little dark, but held together quite well. Mix B sounded a bit crisper, but also sounded like it was mixed by a bass player. As much as I generally prefer a brighter sound, I think I will go A on this one

I think It's B because it sounds more full and A just sounds too thin and I think Glenn likes something that sounds more full than thin. Please don't bash me if I'm wrong. I'm not trying to say that this is his mix I'm just guessing.

Mix A is a touch better. The guitars are tighter and have more meat. The lewitt guys didn't use theboost tho, as far as I gotit :D

Nice drums and bass tone on mix B! I like the guitars on A better.

Mix A : Glenn Mix B : Lewitt Wish mix b had a bit more mmmmph to the guitar low end

Mix B is my preference here.

A just has an all round better vibe and nicer balance. B seems kind of wooly in the low mids somewhere in 250-500. A is more 'classic' and B is more 'modern' so it's a matter of taste also, but purely based on the mix, A wins easy

Mix A by far is the one for me!!! B was a little prickly with the bass track and dull with the guitar tracks.

A is glued together much better IMO, but could use a bit more midrange (although that might obscure the attack on the bass even more), and B is out front while not masking the bass much at all, making it sound less cohesive. I’d probably go with A overall. Also, I should be getting a pair of 140 Airs tomorrow and I’m pretty stoked about it.

Guitars from A+ (a bit less agressive)bass and drums from B = dynamic, balanced and special sounding. Another great video🤘

Bass mix is way better on Mix B --- But the guitar sound is way more heavy and cool on Mix A so I gotta give it to Mix A

I feel like mix A is Glen’s but i can’t tell for sure

This was great! I definately like mix B better, but hey Glenn mixes metal for a living ;) I did like the fact that mix A felt like a local Seattle mix of grunge metal. So that is pretty cool too :) great job everyone, this was really cool to see a collaboration like this.

Howdy, I'll go with Mix A = Glenn. Mix B sound more boxy or nasally to my ears, which I have never heard on Glenn's mixes. Both work, but I prefer Mix A. Cheers!

Definitely A, a bit less punchy but way more defined, sits well in the mix. B sound boxy and 2D to me, even if it has more punch than mix A

I think A is Glenn's mix again.. I don't recall him even making the guitars so full of mids. And he usually doesn't make the bass so punchy. As for overall best sound.. it's a matter of taste. A sounds more 'classic' so I like it more. It's more suitable for metal, I think?

The Mix B guitar sat better in the overall mix. The guitar in Mix A had a little more definition but didn't stand out in the mix. (Was this the dreaded EQ out the mids?)

Its hard to judge because Mix B is much more in your face but if you think about when you put the vocals in it, Mix B will be much more clutered and Mix A little more open

I prefer Mix A , i'd Like more volume of Guitar in Mix B.

Mix:A, in both cases, drums and guitar. Clearer, more articulate, no mud/veil, and louder.

Mix B the panning is definitely strange to my ear. With vocals it might not sound so weird it could make the guitars sit in the mix but as an instrumental the rhythm guitars lack presence. I like Mix A the tone sounds quite modern and mixed really balanced its similar to how I mix my own stuff

It's tough to call which tone was better. A was very creamy and thick sounding. But where B wasn't as thick, it gave better clarity in the notes. As much as I like the thickness of A, I think I lean more towards B as it not only has a bit more clarity but gives more room for the other instruments to breathe. So I would have to give the final verdict to Mix B takes it for guitar tone.

I’m going to go with mix A.

mix a sounds better to my ear, at least if I had to choose, im listening with akg studio headphones through my Focusrite Scarlett interface

I thought A was better, although it needed some brightening. B was louder, but the gain was a bit weak and just didn't sound as good as A.

Wow! Too much finger noise on the bass on B's mix. It made it hard to pick out the better guitar sound but I think Mix A is Glenn's. Great job guys and please, send Kudos to the drummer! He did a fantastic job!

A guitars win, B mix Id actually put vocals over
