My newest song/mix; I could use feedback

[thefalloftheheretic]

There's something that just doesn't sit well with me about this mix. Could I get some help?

Gear: PRS SE Custom, Tascam US-1800, The Metal Foundry and samples

Since no one is giving me feedback on my mix either let me help you. For me there is something funky about the snare it sounds almost like its flamming and the low end is very weak on the entire mix. The guitar could possibly sound much bigger and fuller. You are right I feel like it's just missing some overall body I feel. There is clarity in the mix for sure though.

What exactly do you mean by flamming? I've revamped this mix once already, and I still can't get the guitars right. Any suggestions?

Like the snare hit is not clean and crispy

Hmm...I will look into it. New mix will probably be up later tonight.

Bumping this. Made two new mixes.

Worked a lot on the drums in that one, plus some guitar tweaking.

I did a good deal of work on the toms.

Thoughts?

That snare is still very potbelly sounding for my likes. Is this a recording, or a sample? What are you doing to process it?

the drums is not cutting through the mix
preety clean mix i would say
the drums doesnt have any power on it
i would increase the room in the drums
and maybe a parallel compression on the drum bus
more attack on the guitar's...
limiter to beef up the mix

+1 on the room sound. The drums are very dry. My room isn't great for hearing low end but I can't really tell where the bass is.

Overall mix sounds boxy and dry
