You talkin' to me?
Men dont take me wrong but everything needs to be fixed. This sounds ultra mega compressed, the guitar tone is awful, have to much highs and no mids/presence/body. The whole mix is too weird and boxy.
Once again I have to say that I am not here to put you down but you have to have a reference mix to guide you when you are mixing. Listen to a mix that you like and compare to that one you made. See what is missing.

hey no offense taken i put the song up here for that exact reason..thanks for the feedback...anyone else?
Post what you are using with this mix so someone can give you some advice
Honestly, I think you just single tracked the guitars which is the biggest issue, try doing 2 separate takes and panning them 100% Left and Right and see how much more you can do with the mix
What are you using for guitar chain?
Drums?
Bass?
Also you should just take a day and read basically every sticky on the Production Tips forum, im pretty sure most people who visit this forum regularly have learned multiple things from those golden threads.

I've never used Amplitude to be honest, but I can tell you your tone needs a healthy kick of extra mids in the 700-850Hz section, which will take away a fair bit of that excessively scooped sound. Maybe try boosting lower mids too, but be careful, since too many mids can ruin a guitar tone as well.
What are some of your favorite guitar tones btw?
well i try to stay away from the idea of using "my favorite tones" because i always always always end up going to 1 tone that i made with amplitube a while back...so i listen to the song first then try and classify it and think what tone would fit it best...i was going for kind of a "digital distortion" sound if that makes any sense...as far as my favorite tones are though i really like aild on the 2 latest albums,the killswitch as daylight dies album that tone is one of my favorites,its kind of hard to explain im still new to all this so i cant give you an exact definition...i did notice this guitar tone has something weird going on with it maybe too much fizz in it so i tried to take away a little of the highs but i still cant figure out exactly what it is
