A bit too much delay/verb on the clean guitars for my liking, and the clean tone sounds a bit honky. Other than that, everything is good when the distorted guitars come in. The cymbals would benefit from being wider though, your mix doesn't sound very wide.

i have the OHs panned 70/70
Rhythm gts: 2 guitars are 100/100 and 2 others are 80/80
Octaves are 45/45

i thought that would help that wideness feel. should i open the Ohs a bit more?

Personally I dig it! I'm a huge post-rock and Devin Townsend fan so I really love a shitload of verbs, delays and chorus. Nice song too!

Mogwai, Russian Circles, and so on? Love them too! <3

The "panning overheads not 100" method could make your mix sound wider if the guitars were louder, but with this genre, vocals are very important, and I feel like if you turned the guitars up anymore they would stomp all over the vocals. I think you should definitely pan the OH's 100/100, just to see how it affects your mix.

How do you get your snare to sound like that?

I think the kick could use a little more high end. I know this genre doesn't need a super in your face "clicky" kick, but it could definitely use some more clarity, especially when the distorted guitars come in.

Thanks a lot for your feedback fellas;

Allan i agree, i'm tracking vocals today so after that we'll se how it goes with those OHs 100/100
Tyler, I had to bring its click a bit more up =) a bit around 4k and 6k
tr3nt, I used stock SD2.0 for starters, but replaced with a real TamaBubinga snare sample for this latest update:

There's a couple of intonation issues [Meh guit/bass players (kids)]
