Abandon All Ships! Cover, needs some mixing.

[Warking5000]

Hello again,
I have tried revising my mix a bit, bringing up the bass and what-not though I think I might brought it up too much this time.
I also changed the EQing of the guitars, I removed most of the bass frequencies and boosted a lot of the high frequencies, I low-passed at 10KHZ and high-passed at 100HZ.
I removed the quad-tracking and stuck to the double.
I removed the compression from the drums also.
I understand the band i'm covering is pretty scene, I agree, but it's just something simple for me to practice on.
Again i'm sorry for the newb talk.
Here is the updated track:


Oh, the synth is pretty rubbish but i'm not too bothered by that, I just want the fundamentals down first. Thank you for your time.
And sorry if this is the wrong forum for this.

Can't really give you any tips on guitars and bass until you fix the drums.

they need to come up, your cymbals sound VERY programmed not sure what you are using but it definitely doesn't sound good. not much sustain or decay on them and it almost sounds like they cut out after the initial attack. Kick is very cardboard-ish, pull out those mids and crank some high end into it. Compress your snare and aim for around 6db of gain reduction and as stated bring it up.

Fix those things and we can start pick it apart a bit more but definitely work on your drums. do some referencing and you'll notice how quite your snare is in reference to cd releases.

thank you for replying,
I'm using the ultrabeat drum machine that comes with Logic, so the drums samples aren't exactly top-notch, I have referenced it to the original track and I can see where you're coming from. I'll try pulling it up a bit, though I must say the kit is rather rubbish.
Thank you for your time and help, it is much appreciated.

UPDATE:


I think this is an improvement over the last one with drums, not by much, but an improvement, I think I need samples really, but that could be just me, it still sounds kind of 'unpolished' though, if i could get any more feedback that would be great, as I obviously have a lot to learn.
Thank you.
