edit:..i'm sure you already figured it out but this isn't to a click

this stuff needs a click especially for the drums if you plan on editing them. The guitars sound a too muddy. Right when the drums come in you can here the bass player plucking the open pretty clearly. I can here some hiss/static in the guitar. The vocals actually sound pretty good to me though. Keep trying at it man

Yeah man, i tried to convince them to try it but the drummer didn't want to try it this time around since this is the first time they record.

Yeah I see what u mean about the guitars...do you think i need to reamp them again? or is this something that can be solved with eq?

I would reamp since I'm guessing you have the means. If that does not work out, try some amp sims.

Sounds pretty good man. With this kind of music you really need a massive presence from the guitars cause they carry most of the energy of the song. If you have pod farm try that with impulses. If not I agree with guitarplaya and use amp sims.

I like the vocals but with the deep growls there is a real roomy sound. If you have alot of reverb on it I would dial it back a tiny bit, its always good to have some but I think its a bit too much in this case.

thanks

amp sims, really?...im reamping with PV xxx and a 5150 directly to impulses...think i should switch over to podfarm on this one?

and yeah i hear that reverb...i always tend to put on just a bit too much..inexperience..=p
