I am going to re-mix this as I am not happy with the first pass. The drums are not loud enough. The rhythm tracks were done live and then I did the vocals on top. I think I got the low end pretty good. now the guitars/drums/vocals are fighting in the upper mids. the vocals do not sit very well, I have never recorded them so dry but I figured go with it and follow it though and judge later and kept recording that way. I might re-record some of the vocals because I know I can get better performances. Track 1 is closest to where I am going, it was actually mixed a few days later..the overheads are nice and loud.

Any ideas on how to get the vocals to sit better would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
I listened to the first song on the page. Good arrangement - Really like the sound of the cymbals and gtrs on this. Like the descending chromatic line that cycles through in the gtr part. I'm hearing the kick as too boomy, and it combines w/the bass to get things just a little out of balance I think. At 1:27 the vocal has a sudden peak that's almost clipping. I like the staccato sound of the vocals, but the intonation's off a little - listen to the melodic bit that first happens with the lyric "you see it my.... way" and the pitch on "my" is usually a bit flat. To my ear that's the main thing that makes it not sit well in the mix. Maybe the intonation wouldn't matter much if the vocal wasn't so up front in the mix. A tiny bit of short verb on the vocals might sound good.
