Hey i have been lurking this forum all day looking for some help with my mixing and mastering issues. I am finished tracking the insturments of this band i have been recording and i want to mix/master these tracks. they're doing vocals at another studio so i when i get them back i will mix and master them together. But anyways, I am stuck. I have been working on my mix all day and i still can't get it sound the way i wanted to at all. l1 on the master bus. along with some eq, I have the waves diamond bundle so for anyone knows what's in that bundle could direct me in the direction telling what would be helpful to use when mastering. My questions are
What are some rules to follow when mix and mastering?
What plug ins should i be using?
Also how to get my mix loud, without it sounding like shit.
and idk anything helpful i would like to hear. thanks :]
Here's a link to one of the songs i am working on.

This is mix is really a rough mix i sent to the band because they need somethign to show their drummer because the guitar playing recording some drum parts for this song.
I know in this mix the kick is blasting.
I know the snare sounds weird.
I also know there's some editing to be done on the drums and maybe a little
on the guitars.
And last what do you think of the direction of the song so far?
thanks guys
