I like all my text centered too, like my guitars in my mix.​

lol jk

It sounds like your guitars are sitting in the center of your mix. Try panning them out more like 100/75 left and 100/75 right. Your drums are a bit quiet too -- especially the snare and kick. Try adjusting the levels and bringing everything out. Right now the vox and guitars are dominating the mix. I dig the guitar tone, albeit sounding very digital still. I'm digging the songwriting tho! Good luck.

Yeah Guitars def sound centered.
I would say your kick is too weak.
Otherwise i rate it would sound killer with more of a stereo feel on the guitars
Good work man

Thx dudes
I use 2 guitars at the verses!
1 - 100% left and 1 - 100% right and the bass is in the center, do you guys have some opinion to give the guitars so they sound wider then?

will raise the snare and kick then!

Glad you liked it

Did you actually record 2 separate guitar tracks? Or did you just duplicate 1 take? (which is what it sounds like) If you duplicate just 1 take and pan them out, they will still sound centered and very mono. If those are 2 separate takes, try quadtracking (4 unique performances and not duplicates) and pan them out maybe at 90/90 in addition to your 2 others at 100/100. All I can say is this doesn't sound like 2 unique takes. If all else fails, try using some sort of stereo imager to widen the guitars and open them up a bit -- this should be a last resort though.

ubersyntax: no i don't duplicate a guitar track! that sounds weird and bad. I'm not that noob ;D
I will try to wide them a little bit!

it may just be me but try adding some more bass to the mix, that might be because your kick isnt really powerful but its something to look at.... oh yeah, how are you eq'ing your guitars????

 

[FIXXXER]
