Hai!
So I'm trying to mix and master this song for my band to the best of my knowledge.
Would appreciate any criticism and suggestions on what to do next?

I've been reading this forum for tips for the past few weeks,
and here's what I have done so far.
1.Drums are made in fl studio.
Bass Kick is double tracked sample the best bass drum on earth which I found on this forum.
First one has pretty wide scoop in around 500hz, and a boost around 8-10khz and copressed with 15ms attack and 100 release.
The second one has a lowpass filter at 200hz and a bass boost.
Snare has a 1.5dB cut at 460hz and a 2.5 db cut at 100hz, and the mic is rolled off at 75hz. Compression with attack set for 15 ms and +8 db gain.
Overheads are compressed a little, but I don't know what to do with them actually.
2. Guitars are recorded with a Pod Studio UX1 using a metalcore patch file I found.
Basically a tube screamer with an amp I don't remember.
Rhytm guitars are quadtracked, panned R100/100 L100/100
And boosted about 2db at 9 khz , 5 khz, 1.5 khz, 400hz and 80 hz
For the lead guitar I used the same recording twice and panned them R100 L100 and boosted the highs a little.
3. Bass guitar is also recorded with the pod.
I used the same track twice. 1 eq'd for lows 40hz-200hz and one for high 200hz+ with distortion.
4. Vocals are shure sm58 throught the same pod with the crunge vocal preset.
Also would like some input on the choir at the end of the track.
5. Ableton Live 8 for mixing.
Huh this is a pretty long post, thanks for reading.
I'd be thankful for any response!
Cheers!
