I'm at a loss for words in regards to the guitar tone. Was that the kind of tone you were going for? Or did the gain knob fall of the head and you had the slash the cab speakers? I was not expecting a metalcore song to ensue after hearing the intro. I would suggest taking the gain up considerably. Don't overdue i obviously but it needs to come up. Do to answer your question, yes. Retrack the guitars.
 
I forgot to mention that during the song it sounds ok guitar wise but they are still pretty under gained. Just have to find that balance between high gain and clarity. They sound sticky at the moment. Clear and audible but not what I would consider heavy. It's all to taste anyway though.
 
It's not horrible it just needs a LOT more gain! The balance seems ok as well, unfortunately I can't go into much more detail as I'm on laptop speakers >.<
 
I´m only listening to the latest one, and it´s pretty good, I don´t really like the hihat sample you´re using, but the rest sounds fine to me, well balanced, good stuff

it is a live drums, i dont sample the hihat tho.. the hihat itself sound like ***t. T_T. thank you for your comment
