Should be in the rate my mix section. The guitar tone is a bit weird. Is this one guitar in the middle or two panned stereo? High pass it a bit more, and adding a bass will help a lot

Are you using POD Farm? The reverb on the snare sounds weird too... a bit too much. Are you putting verb right on the snare track, or sending it to an aux and blending?

Besides that, it should sound pretty decent when you have a bass in there. MIght want to lo pass the guitars to around 8 or 7 khz

Ok theres not that much of a difference but u can tell. and also i don't know if you notice, but in the guitars you can hear this annoying scratching noise. I think its from the pick or something. Do you know how to get rid of it?

for scratchiness, either lo pass down to around 7 or 6 khz to get out all the BS high end, and maybe try a notch eq at 2 to 4 khz, take a few db out. Just sweep the spectrum until you find where the noise is at and suck it out
