The bass drum and snare need to come waaaay more forward in the mix...actually the drums as a whole except the overheads. The snare needs more snap/crack to it (it sounds boingy in some parts, that is mostly tuning). The guitars need a little EQ...in some parts they can get a little muddy when...

Dude, where in Oklahoma are you? I might be able to help you out, I'm in OKC. I think I've got "the ear"...this is from my 2nd recording session ever, that I recorded in my living room. I'm actually recording this band again next week. Give the track a listen and tell me what you think...
