Hey everyone, I've been lurking here for a while, trying to swallow the most information possible 
Anyways, here's my first mix ever of one of my friend's compositions. It's still a work in progress, but I'm pretty much clueless as to where to go next.
The drums are from a GP file, and im pretty satisfied with the result so far, considering they're midi with almost no velocity changes. The bass was tracked DI, and I have a copy of it running EQ'd along with one going through Guitar Rig. I'm not sure I like it yet.
There's some compression on the vocals, with a some reverb too. There's a main vocal track along with two others panned a bit for most of the song.
Piano and keyboards are pretty much placeholders, until I can get a real keyboard to do them.
Now my biggest challenge is the guitars. I'm using a Godin six string, with stock pickups (only guitar I have set to drop D), running straight through a Mesa Roadster. The cab is a 2x12 mic'ed with a 57 into an Audiobox and then through to Sonar. Some guitar parts are still missing from the song (you'll notice the empty spaces here and there, and a few lead parts where you can't tell), but I plan on redoing them all once I can get a good tone. So far it's just two tracks with the same setup hard left and hard right.
Apart for where I mentioned, it's all raw tracks. There's a ton of clipping in the heavy parts too...

Any comments and tips/advice obviously welcome
