How's My Mix?

[joelplagues]

Hey everyone,

Song was written by a mate of mine he did record guitars but I ended up redoing them.

http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/694533/Cr0wned Final Mix 2.mp3

drums-snare and kick sampled
-rest is S2.0

guitars are quad tracked and as you can tell there is no bass.

any comments or tips are much appreciated,

cheers

updated trial mix; http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/694533/Cr0wned Final Mix 3rd reduced some m.mp3

good man, please, add bass!!!!
what kick/snare samples did you use?

 

[88mph]

Guitars sound too middy, maybe you should cut some mid freqs.

Pan the cymbals to the middle a little, it drives me nuts when i only hear the crash on the far right. (I am guilty of this myself at times, but i always mix my crash fairly low in the mix)
Other than that it sounds kind of tinny, cut some mid and some add some low end to the guitars. Perhaps the bass will make the low end sound better. Not sure what you are going after.
For the guitar solo at the end id use an entirely different tone, something smooth and sweet, that should bring it out of the mix better.

I like the ending, nice acoustic guitar!

It's a Colin Richardson kick sample and snare was sent to me via user Dandelium(if memory serves me well)

Thanks for the tips I'll take them into consideration.and yes bass would make the low end sound heaps better but I dont have a bass and my attempts at doing ghetto bass have failed. I have tab if anyone would be nice enough to do it?

yeah the acoustic turned out pretty well I must agree

I'll do another mix soon and keep your suggestion in mind

thanks

Updated one is better IMO, but this needs a bass!
