Dont kill me

[MarcMullingar92]

Right, firstly, Im pretty much a noob at mixing etc, but Im recording my bands demo atm and this is the first song and mix we've gotten done.
Ive just got Eq, a slight delay and compression on the guitars, eq and compression on the bass, and Eq, reverb, delay and compression on the vocals..
I know it probably just sounds like a mess to you guys but Id really appreciate some advice, where Im going wrong, where im going right (If i am at all) etc.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me out!

Edit:
I played around a bit and came up with this, which im much happier with, i can still see room for improvment though..anyone any tips on how to add "space and air to a mix? :/ I know its more the dry signal that adds that but im recording through a DI and oretty sure theres gotta be dome way to emulate it..

for a start try cutting out some frequencies on rhythm guitars. they are filling out way too much space in the mix.
and HP and LP are mandatory )

Hey dude, if you are just starting out this is pretty good! Much better than i ever managed :|

As said above, the guitars are taking too much space, they sound muffled in the mids, try cutting around 400-700Hz.

Infact, Ermz has written an awesome guide called poking holes in high gain guitars, it will help you out no end dude!

guitars sound really centered and muffled, plus the snare is overpowering and I don't like the sample. But it really isn't too bad, I love the bass distorsion, and the vocals are really good

Its still not great, I couldnt change the sample for the snare do i just fattened it up with a boost around 240, then turned it down a little..
I did a HP and LP filter on the guitars and tried cutting out a few frequencys, i cut around 4-600 and 3k a bit..
Thanks about the vocals ther bein retracked this week though, the singer wasnt completley happy after he heard it a few times..
