Rough Mix Need Advice - Metalcore w/Some Djenty Parts

something just sounds completely wrong with the guitars. just try and get a perfectly clean di into the computer first.
 
yea i was trying to avoid retracking them but i guess thats what im gonna have to do...also, this was before i had much experience recording, so i basically didn't master the track i just put brick walls on everything, lol. I think im gona re mix this whole track and see where im at.
 
OK here it is with retracked guitars am i on the right track this time?? Snare sounds shittier in this one i think...I did a lot of remixing on this one.

Snare is indeed shit in this one IMO.. Mix is ok but your need to bring everything more upfront and clearer.
 
any tips on snare processing? right now it's 8 band eq, c1 compressor, trueverb... also, my kicks always seem so shitty i can't get a punchy metal kick for the life of me... as far as guitars and bass is there anything specific wrong with it? i know the breakdowns need to be played tighter i'l probably try to get those cleaner tonight.
 
Actually I don't put any EQ (maybe some 250) or Comp on my snare.Try putting a clipper on it and let's say : one sample for bottom and one other sample for crack. Don't that much reverb on the snare if you want it in your face.. For the kick try blending 2 samples : 1 for low and 1 for click/slap.
 
Ok here is what i think is my best so far...I couldn't get the dual samples to work. maybe its the samples i have? i need to just get slate drums already, lol. anyways, let me know...
