I need help with the mix

[christian_roth]

I would love to get your feedback on this:

I feel like the vocals need to stand out more or be EQ'd more into the mix. Thanks!

I'd turn down the guitars. They bury everything else.

Then, when you can hear it all, turn it all back up together to where the guitars were.

I can't hear the drums at all.

Let me take an educated guess... were the electric guitars the last thing you recorded?

Thanks for the advice. I recorded the bass last but I tend to overdo the guitars to give the music more energy.

sounds decent right now.

i think the guitars aren't loud at all. the bass sounds a little anemic, though. i'd probably distort it a little and maybe bump up the midrange a bit so it will have a little more clarity.

but i think what strikes me most listening at home on my stereo is that i don't feel much of a sense of space - especially with drums and vocals. try adding some verbs and delays in there. if they're already there, get some more wet signal in there.
