Where am I going wrong?

[Pash]

I just cant get my mixes to have that "professional" feel about them. Seriously lacking punch and sparkle.

Here's where I am at the moment. If anyones got any pointers?

I think the keyboards are a bit to loud... also you could lower the kickdrum..

Edit: The keyboards on the first part only are loud, when everything is quiet..

it sounds like the cymbals are panned to hard L & R, I would bring them closer so they don't sound so distant from each other. and if they aren't, pan the guitars hard L & R, or at least like 95% L & R. they sound too close together IMO. and yea, bring the kick down just a tad, and raise the eq at 50Hz about 2.5 db with a Q of 5 or 6. that should give it a little more thump still leaving the click.

btw, i like when the guitars stutter. nice job.

Agreed with CSMadden. Those guitars sound pretty nice too, what's the amp/sim used?
