Okay, that's interesting. I'm kind of a melody addict, and don't yet have the skills (or plugins) to go 'epic', so that's all good.
I haven't played much with volume automation or limiters yet, so I'll try that. I just use flat-response AKG headphones right now, and maybe I'll get more spendy on studio monitors later. That Gearslutz forum (and their newbie sub forum) looks like a great resource.
Yeah I'm not blaming the Pod in any way, I just don't really get what the trick is to getting layered distorted guitar tracks to sound clear. I also have a lot to learn about EQing. So that's also on my list of things to figure out.
If you have ay examples of music you think is mixed really well (or your own stuff?), I'd love to hear them.
Thanks for the offer! I will take you up on it for sure. What you've given me has helped a ton.
