My First Mix and Master

[s2c]

Hello everyone!
I'm from Madeira, a island in the middle of the atlantic ocean and finding this forum was the best thing that happend to me at this time cus I'm new on recording my own stuff. This is my first mix for The Dead Silent, my band and I would appreciate any help to get it sound better or just acomment about it. Thanks

Kick drum is WAAAAYYY too overpowering I think. Everything sounds great, but that kick gets very irritating after about 6 seconds

Yes the kick is way to loud.
Also sounds like there is to much reverb on the vocals.

Hey, thanks for the comments, I'm taking care of that Kick and the reverb
I have another question that I hope anyone can help, when I recorded the guitars for this track using a sm57 I recorded the line out of the preamp and liked to know if it´s a good idea to use it with impulses to get a fuller sound? It's the same guitar tracks but using the line out.
Thanks

Vocalist sounds like he is straining to shit lol. Mix sounds solid, but the vocals just get on my tits so much.

It's not a huge change from the first one. I actually don't think the entire kick is too loud though, to me it seems just like the low end of the kick is too loud and overpowering. If you can get the low end to be controlled better and actually give it it's own space in the mix, so that you can still feel a "thump" without having the volume cranked up, it will sound a lot better. Low end is tricky though so don't be surprised if it takes a lot of time to get it right...
Also, what kind of microphone did you record the vocals with? The vocals sound WAY too bright to my ears, like you either made a huge shelf boost on the high frequencies, or put some kind of light distortion on the vocals that also had the highs boosted way too much.

I used a Studio Project condenser model, I don't remember the model, but I think it was C1
