3 guitar track 1 shitty bass tack because recorded wtih solo guitar
mixed in cubase
mastered in studio one

how do you like it? what are the problems? help me to improve my home studio sounding!!!
 
One thing I noticed right away is that it seems the cymbals are too low and the snare is quiet during the distorted parts.
The clean part towards the beginning sounds like you may want to lower the volume to match the distorted parts.
Pretty cool sounding song! I like the guitar tone a lot, sounds really heavy

I second all of this. I would like to throw in my ears got really fatigued within about 15 seconds. The frequency's are all over the place. And it sounds really compressed to the point it gets sort of wavy and phasey in some spots. I personally don't really don't like the way the cymbals are spread out. in the stereo field like that. They don't gel really the way they are but that is only my personal preference.

Great musicianship, and the pianos at the end were a pretty great touch!
 
You'll always get more responses by posting in the MP3 Clinic section of this forum.
 
Compression is the biggest issue here. When the double kick comes in, the rest of the mix drops in volume quite audibly.

And yes, this thread should be in the clinic. I'm sure a friendly mod will come along to handle that soon enough.
