Doesn't seem to want to download for me. Could be a Firefox thing.

yeah, 006 had problems last night, yousendit didnt wanna work for me, kev, can you upload it to yousendit for me?

 

[~BURNY~]

No. Kev is a liar .It's clipping and there's a problem in the low end (the kick maybe). Some snare rolls sounds phasey (like some hits were doubled/delayed) and the overall sound is different. The guitar tone isn't bad though. But hey, what did you expect? Making a good mix is hard task. Cracking someone else's mix is... Almost impossible.

 

[Seizure.]

Done pretty nicely, guitars are pretty sweet

You still got that overlimiting/distortion going on though.

 

[cobhc]

ok, thanks for the opinions guys, will take all that on board and try again lol.

The drums seem VERY sampled/ programed, but i guess thats what happens when all you can do is sample/ program drums..so on to what you could fix: the guitars seem to be the major thing that sticks out, theres a few too many high-mids. It also sounds like you either quad tracked with 100% panning on all tracks or (my bet is that) you only double tracked. It could sound better quad tracked with 100% and 80% panning.
The lowend could use a it more taming, maybee just bring the overall level of the bass/ kick down, or work at mutibanding the bass and cutting more of a hole in it for the kick.
Getting very close man. Awsome work \m/ Can't wait to have some more decent equipment to start gettnig these results myself.

the guitars were quad tracked, panned 80 and 100% like you said, i'll work on the amp eq for them though. and as far as the snare, the top snare is 50/50 with andy's sample and a dfhs snare, bottom snare is all dfhs, could it be that i'm compressing the bottom snare too much thats causing the phasing?

RE: the kit, the samples sound fine, maybee just work on using more samples or something so it doesnt sound so fake/ programed. But it's no big deal.
Listening back to the track though, it almost sounds like theres a pretty prominent resonance in the bass track. If you find it (i'd say below 100Hz, maybee 60-80) pull a few dB out of it with a narrow filter and you might find the problem in the low end gone to some extent, which could help with the pumping in the mastering stage.
