We have our EP recorded, and are now in the mixing process. Guitars and bass all direct in (PODfarm), vocals recorded with a rode nt1-a, drums programmed and sampled to hell. this one is one of our nice and heavy tracks, this is still in progress but I'd like to hear some critiques (I know theres a lot of things to still be done, I could list several) but I want to know what you all think so far.

are you mixing in an untreated environment...?

overall i must say this mix needs a lot of work,
start with the bass (try adding some 120hz) - next i would turn down the clicky attack of the kick (its cool to have a clicky kick,
but it shouldnt destroy your ears ;-) guitars are weak in the lower mids, id try different podfarm presets and notch out some
of the annoying higher mid frequencies.
drums sound mono, try adding some dimensionn (room mics), especially on snare.

hope that helps !
