Hi,i think this sounds great,the tones i think are spot on and real good vocal sound too.
What i would say is i think the main guitars are too loud in the mix and i think that is loosing
you bottom end dynamics with the bass and bottom end of the drums and bass etc
its lacking in depth i feel in some way,its like the guitars are doing all the work.
But as i say as tones go here i think you have done a good job.
The lead is also very loud too.

Hi,

takka360 - I agree with you. Listening again to the tune after uploading I felt that the rhytm guitars sound a little bit too harsh and are too upfront. so imo they take over everything. Should give it another try ...
Though having good monitors I am often unshure about the bottom end ... in the future I will use some reference tracks as a comparison (I have to admit I was too "lazy" to do that ... shame on me :-(
thanx a lot for your immediate reply
cheers
tom

Edit: I did a 2nd version ... see attachment... more balanced imo
