First Metal Mix. Please feedback your opinion!

[blackwolf87]

Hey dudes!

This is my first Mix, recorded in our little band rehearsal room.

I think it´s a good mix for my first time, but the sound isn´t wide enough. I´m a mixing beginner and I´ll have to learn a lot. So I would be very grateful for any suggestion for improvement.
Thanks !!!

Bass: AMPEG SVT 3 + 4x 10“ cabinet with the THE T.BONE MB75 + DI
Drums: Superior Drummer
Vocals: SHURE SM58

I´ve turned down the volume auf the overheads, now it´s a lot better.

I would say you have to add some highs to the guitars ..and i would work on the snare

 

[blackwolf87]

Ok, some highs on the guitar group has been added and I replaced the snare with another one.

dude not bad, vocals are a bit too upfront for my taste, and the cymbal sounds don´t convince me too much, a bit too harsh and nasal IMO. The mix is super big sounding, I like it
