Just experimenting with a more "middy" guitar sound. Opinions?

I've also uploaded a Reaper project with the guitar + bass DIs and the MIDI track for the drums if you fancy a go at it.
 
Sounds alright. Guitars are a little too middy I think. Could use some more lows/lowmids.

Bass needs some more subs and to be turned up in general.

Drums sound really nice (love the roomy sound), altho snare needs a bit more attack. Cymbals are distorting, sounds like bad mp3 compression.
 
Thanks for the feedback! I pulled back some of the low mids on the guitars as they were getting too boomy on the palm mutes, I guess I went overboard with it. Same with the bass.

The snare is one of Lasse's Alestorm samples (thanks Lasse!), I'll play around with it some more. Cymbals sound OK here, are you by any chance listening to the drop.io preview? It will be a much lower bitrate than if you actually download the file...
