Hi everyone, this is my first post here but I've been here a lot this year reading a lot of incredibly helpful stuff from users. I'm hoping you can lend your ear to my first attempt at mixing/mastering.

The first track attached is a snippet of the song I'm working on and the second should be some examples of my production inspiration: (Ahab/Rammstein/Agalloch).

I'm finding the mix very... flat at the moment - I think the problem is with the guitar tone but I need some more ears! I'm pretty much only using VSTs so I can change sounds at the drop of a hat. Sincerest thanks!

The snippets are too short to give a detailed opinion, but what I could make out is that the guitars sounded phasey. Post a whole song.
I've said it before, I don't see the point of people posting snippets and unfinished songs.
 
Sorry about that, I was trying to get to the point. This is the whole track, minus some harmonies over the acoustic part and no vocals. It's all I have at the moment!

(sorry that it took a while, I've had nightmares trying to convert and upload this)


 
Hey Cosmic,

Love everything except the cheap synth sound, which should be pretty easy to fix. Given you seem to be going for "melodrama" perhaps that is not an issue anyway.

That comment was to the 1st track, the 2nd track sounds good, but is too limited to judge.
 
The snippet sounds like an intro. I can't get to the full posting - access denied!
the snippet sounds soft, gentle like a linking passage for Linkin Park. I was expecting MONSTER guitars.
