Help with my mix: Dio ripoff (5150 content)

[KeithRT99]

Help me out with my mix. I (almost) completely copied "Rainbow in th dark" by dio for an assignment for my western civ class. My friend is going to impovise dio-esque lyrics about WW1 on it. Anyways, i need some feedback on how the mix is sounding, because i am mixing on computer speakers.

the guitars are all MH300(emg81/89)> 5150 combo >sm57 > m-audio mobile pre
the bass is fender jazz > di > guitar rig/ SWR workingman's 12 > sm57 > etc.

synth is reason, drum samples: exodus kick, deftones snare, dw toms.

Very mid/ high heavy. Rhythm guitars could be a bit lower.

agree on the point Nebulous made, the guitars tend to take over the mix, maybe you should filter it out some more.

I always use two mics for 5150 (off and on axis). Otherwise the sound will suck a big time. FOR ME it's the only way to get the 5150 sound out. Then just some BBE sonic maximizer to the on axis track.
