I just can't get it right

[Jan [MTW]]

Hey Guys,
I would love if you could give me some pointers on how I can get this mix sound right. I'm so sick of it, because can't get it sounding good.

I still have to do some editings on the guitars. And yea, I know that I fucked up the outro.
Also I'll put some effects on the intro.

Any other opinions are appreciated, too.
If you need informations on the mix, feel free to ask me!

Edit: I hate how the vocalist sounds.

Made some little changes and muted vox.

Sounds a lot better than the first one. Guitars are still a little boxey tho. Are you boosting the mids? What does the guitar eq look like?

That kinda middy style was what I wanted to go for sice the band wants a simular guitar sound to the first within the ruins album.
Eq is highpass at 100hz lowpass at 9,5khz, cut at 300hz and a big cut in the 4000hz area.
And in pod farm mids are at 90% which i'll lower a bit i think!

Yea or try some surgical cuts. Sweep the 700-800hz area, and then maybe 1-2k and try and isolate the problem. I dig the middy style too i usually max my mids out and try to eq out the boxey stuff if possible, but either way works.
