I don't know exactly what kind of advice you're expecting, but if it's about the mix, I have some bad news - you have to retrack everything!

at first, this is a mono-mix; what you need is a stereo-mix, and for that you'll need better mics(+ preamp), and a metronome for the drummer!
after you recorded for each instrument a track (except the drums, wich need more), u can throw them together to a mix, thweak them a little to fit in together(compression, reverb), and them you can post it in the clinic again.

hope to hear your mix soon!

cheers

Interesting. Seriously. The strumming in the intro. Some timing problems there... and then again on drums.

Hm... when everything comes in... there's no mix. Everything sits in the center. Guitar, bass, drums, voice. And it's all cranked up loud!!

Read this thread as a basic introduction to mixing:

Then ask around these forums for help. Another thing is basic tracking, let alone mixing. Your vocals clip fairly heavily.

Aside from all that (and it's a LOT!!) your song sounds really cool... and tasty!! At least the pieces of it radiating from the middle of the soundhole here! LOL! It's just a matter of learning how to "arrange" those pieces in space. That would be the art of mixing.

Good Luck & have fun learning that thread
