Hopefully that link works.

I hate deathcore, but I'm basically trying to make this sound like a Sturgis mix. I've never mixed vocals before, so I welcome any advice. My death metal vox aren't going to get any better, but as far as mixing, I'm not sure how I'm doing.

Fixed it, sorry about that. Only started using dropbox recently and it's surprisingly tricky to link to the browser version.

Overall it sounds pretty good. Instruments are ace, but the vocals are too quiet and have something weird about them, not sure what o.o

Thanks for the feedback. I'm also working on the shittiest M-Audio monitors in the entire world, so when I went to listen to this in my car I realized the bass drum was loud as fuck and the bass was too quiet, so I split the difference on those two.

RE: the vocals, I'll certainly turn them up, but it might be that I recorded them in my apartment with an MXL 990 hahah. Other than that, I have aux sends for delay, verb, and some distortion in the low mids range to beef things up.
