Hi! I've started mixing my band's first 4 song demo/EP and I'm having problems with the mix. It's hard for me to pinpoint where exactly the mix fails, but it seems to be all over the place. In addition the guitars sound somehow flat and lifeless and I don't know where to start with the EQ. I've spent so much time with the mix that I've almost become tonedeaf and the guitars are just a bunch of noise to me.
Here's one sample song. We haven't tracked vocals yet, but I want it to sound prime before any tracking and adapt the mix later. Any tips would be appreciated
