I'm pretty new to this whole mixing ordeal, and I live in a apartment and my computer always seems to crash when I try to mix my own recorded stuff, so until I get a Mac Pro I've been mixing stems I find on here. First, I'm going to show you the first mix I did of this song ("Deadweight" anyone?). Now I was very pleased with this at first....

After comparing it to all the other mixes on here and hearing feedback, I realized how empty and crappy it was. So i decided to refresh on my studying, and started from scratch. Here's what I got now

I think it sounds a lot better. What do you guys think? Like I said, I'm somewhat new to this, and I LOVE harsh criticism, so any feedback on whats better/worse and any tips/advice at all would be appreciated to the fullest. I've learned SO much because of this site, so thank you everyone! I'm very stoked to become a daily sneapster :)
 
How bout this, I'll record DI's (guitar and bass. i have a Gibson Les Paul Studio with EMG ZW 81/85's, and a Fender P bass) for a cover song by request and post them this week if I can get some feedback! (try to keep the requests metalcore-ish, but more like Killswitch Engage and All That Remains. No crabcore please)
