Hi,

I would really appreciate some opinions on this mix that I am working on for my band.

Drums sound really good man. nice snare verb
guitars sound a bit grainy for my liking, play around with eq in the upper mids, they're a bit muffled too. A boost around 8-9k should help that.
Also, the piano sounds a bit fake, there's plenty of guys on here with high quality piano and orchestra plugins who'll process your midi for you and send you the wav, just ask!
vocals are really tight too man, sounds like youve got a damn good vocalist there, hold onto him!

I agree. The piano needs more "body" sound. Cut of the highs. Work out it's velocities more and give the character that is missing.

Hi again,
I have now updated the piano (thank you The Driller!), changed the eq a bit on the guitars, put some more volume on the guitars and added a bit of bass to the overall mix.

Any more comments?
