Heavy Detuned Modern Metal (sludge influenced)

Hey guys, here's the mix:

This is a session that was tracked and sent to me from New York. The kick and snare are completely replaced; this thread should explain why: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/andy-sneap/684489-dont-you-just-love.html

Overall, I'm really satisfied with this mix. I really wish I could have been there for tracking, but regardless I think it turned out pretty good overall.

Any questions or feedback is welcomed!!!

That snare is really compressed!lol a bit of more presence in the mix would be better.

Thanks!

I wanted to give the snare a lot of character, with less of that low-mid thump in slate snares, and LOTS of sustain.

I'm aiming for a low-mid heavy guitar tone (very similar to crowbar) in the mix, so perhaps I can balance it out by adding some more high-mids and presence to the other instruments.
