Recorded this just to practice mixing :D

Drums are just some samples i've found wherever
Guitars are TS_Secret > Nick Crows 5150 > some impulse
Bass is simmed as well
synths are from reason

Is it just me or are the guitars out of tune? i tuned before every take but after doing some pitch corrections on cleans and throwing synths in, it sounds like they may be a bit out of tune...

aaaand how can i make it better?

I think you'd be better off with the lepou stuff its pretty easy to get a nice sound with legion and lecab. Guitars sound really muddy. If you can't reamp the tone i'd say cut the low mids (700hz area) bring up the highs a bit, maybe boost around 2k. overall mix needs to be brought up quite a bit also, throw a limiter on the master track.

yeah i didn't do any mastering on this at all haha except that automated EQ at the beginning,

okay took some lows out of those babys and put a comp > limiter on my master.

startin to sound a lot better dude, is there no bass track? i'm having a hard time hearing it if there is...if not, definitely track some bass and make the guitars brighter, let the bass fill out the low end. right now the guitars still seem a little bass heavy to me but i could be wrong. hoefully someone else will chime in.
