Alright reocrding need some help

[ConcreteHippo]

I recently recorded a few songs for my friends band. Its alright but the bass is the only thing i am really content with. I think the guitars need to be much fuller and the drums sound a little wierd. Any suggestions?

Be patient. Some of us have lives outside this BBS you know.

And some of us are still in the stone-age of dialup, like me.

Sounds like you recorded way too hot. Don't let the signal clip when you're recording (when the meters go into the red).

Starts off sounding good, then when the other guitar comes in it starts to sound messy.

I also hear a lot plosives in the vocals (at the start of the song when the singer says "may be". Notice how it happens on words with a "p" or "b" in them. Try using a pop filter on the mic or get one if you don't have one.

Drums sound "thin" to me. I'm no expert at drums though. How were they recorded? It also sounds like there's not a lot of separation in the drums, they sound too close to the center. It'd help if you could pan some of them to the left/right and keep the bass/kick in the center.

It needs work but it's not sounding TOO bad to me.

The snare is too loud & sounds like it's in a box.
The vocals are fine the cymbals too.
The bass actually needs - dare I say it - more definition when the big guitars are in.
Guitars - what are they playing through or effected by?
Good melody - not bad all around.
