New Bulb Mix Test Clip! Feedback and Criticism greatly appreciated!

[bulb]

Hey guys,

Im trying out a pretty much brand new mix for myself while sticking to pretty much the same ingredients: Dfhs and my Podxt.
I decided to rerecord a short clip of an already existing song so that i could get some good a/b comparisons and i like the way it is sounding so far.
I was going for a more open and natural drum sound and i changed a few things on the guitar and bass patches as well. Also i went for a slightly more compressed overall mix to give it a bit more of that "in your face" quality to it.

The thing is you guys are smart and some of you probably have very nice and revealing monitors, so i was hoping for some good old constructive criticism and any tips you may have to offer to improve the production.

Here is the link to the clip:

I'm listening on laptop speakers, so I won't critique the mix, but cool song. You and the Tesseract guy have very similar writing styles.

Nice song and sound! How the hell did you get the snare like that?

thanks dudes!
the bass is actually just my schecter 5 string thru the podxt with a lower gain version of the guitar patch and more bass.

the snare is the pearl birch snare from dfhs and i dunno man, getting it to sound like that has taken A LOT of tweaking, but i cut down on the compression a bit, and i just eq'd it so it would fit the guitar tone better!

I like the song a lot. Mix sounds pretty good. Guitars sound nice, did you double track quad track rhythms?

The snare is a lot better than your old snare.

As usual, the whole thing sounds tight as fuck.
