It is a bit muddy.
First guess it is going to be around 300 - 400 hz where you need to cut a little on the vocals and guitars a bit.
The drums sound like they might be electric, they are too bright for the other instruments. The vocals have too dense a reverb on it and too much. It pushes the vocals back in the mix too much. Try a brighter plate type reverb on the vocal.
There are a few performance issues but since you did not ask in regard to that I won't touch on it.

Thanks for the responses! I guess I have some work to do!
 
The tune is pretty good.

Two recommendations:
1 - Remove any verb on bass if there's any. Or reduce is by 75%.
2 - Cut the master bus around between 200Hz-400Hz. More of a rounded U type lowering instead of a sharp lowering of all bands between the range.

You didn't ask for vox but I'll say anyway:
1 - In the beginnig there's more performance issues and towards the ends there aren't any. Sounds like you got used to it and got in the groove.
2 - Recommend replacing the verb on vox with something very less. Sometime3ms delay might be better than a verb.

All my recommendations are just my opinions and since I'm not paid $500/hr by a major label, you can guess the real worth of the opinions.

:D

Good to see some Christian music. :)
 
Hi,

Turn up the bas, turn up the guitars.
Turn DOWN the reverb on the vox

That should freshen things up !!!
 
Thanks again for the help.


What I really need is a drummer to fix this. I can't do a thing with the canned drums... :mad:

I have someone in mind to track the vocals too. I can't sing for shit.
 
at least you know.


and tsk tsk. you're not supposed to say shit like 'shit'.


oops...
 
You really should go back to the tracking stage and redo the vocals. They are WAY PITCHY
and that's something you just can't fix in the mix. Sometimes it's easier to get in tune if you practice singing the melodies and harmonies while playing the melodies and harmonies on an instrument that is in tune. That way you can zero in on the problem notes and correct them.
