Cool song, There is a HUGE gap in the low mids. The guitars especially are lacking body. The synth is a bit loud for me. Drums are decent

Thanks! how would you suggest fixing the gap? Where exactly do you hear this gap?

200-900Hz and even the 1-2KHz area is a little dull. The guitars sound like bottom end and fizz, what are you using? (Signal chain / settings - screen shot). The bass is lacking growl. I think you will hear the most improvement by adjusting your guitar tone (750Hz is critical before the amp head, this can be achieved with a screamer pedal or EQ boost), as for post EQ and shaping I would AB your mix with a commercial mix you like the sound of (Just make sure they are at exactly the same level), this is not to imitate but to get a perspective of overall shape.
