ATOT-The Lower Nine

[t3cajun]

Hey everyone,
This is my first post. I've been reading this forum for about 6 months now and have learned quite a bit.

I gave my first crack at mixing with this song
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6448205/01%20The%20Lower%20Nine%20%28Breaking%20The%20Leve%203.mp3

This is a project I recorded myself with a buddy playing the drums.
Any constructive criticism on the mix would be appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Anyone? Do you need more info?

the kick drum is way to loud and boomy, are there even guitars? Sorry but i cant hear them at all over the bass. Vocals arent really in tune (no offense). The snare is to quiet also. You can make it sound way better, just got mix it differently

Whoa now. No offense but those vocals are hard to listen to. Completely out of tune.

The distorted guitar on the left is way out of tune.

The whole song is just not tight at all.

Thanks, for the replies everyone. Yea, my buddy and I just do this for fun, so no offense taken on the vocals and such. I keyed some sub-bass with the kick, so that probably explains the kick being boomy. I'll try bring up the guitars and snare volume also.
When you say the song isn't tight, do you mean the editing needs to be better or the frequency play between the instruments, or both? haha

as in make the playing alot tighter, You wanna try and use the least amount of editing on guitars IMO cause it will not only make you a tighter player, but will sound much better that edited guitars. When the playing is not tight enough, everything just sounds really sloppy and it creates alot of mud
