Your mix needs quite a bit of work to it. The kick is really loud as are the cymbals, and I can't hear the bass. Also the guitar tone is very fizzy and digital, and the lead lines sound like they need some reverb. Good work on the actual composition though, especially the guitar work.

Not my style of music but sounds good and fairly tight playing wise.

whhhats guitars recorded on/with so i can avoid?!?! no, but seriously what you use they need an OVERHAUL
good stuff though, could be better recorded/mixed and should be!

Peavey Vypyr 120h head via USB... I know guitars sound really weak and all but I don't really have any fancy equipment, so yeah you should probably avoid the Peavey Vypyr unless if you mic it with an SM57 :P

i got an sm58(capsule off = sm57) for 30$ bro and a fast track for 20-30 you dont need fancy equipment to get a decent sound. i have been there before though, just invest in something at least an interface theres free impulses if you like the processed sound.

It's all good... I'm new to mixing and producing, I just wanted hear other peoples input on the quality, so I can remaster or mix it for future projects... I already have both those mics plus a condenser and a decent mixer... but thanks for the tips though
