I wouldnt go as far as saying you cant improve... but you certainly cant get it close to the same level as having what your recommending greggy
Clam Soup
Project 49
There's a bit of everything in that tune. Like a rock and roll hybrid.... I like it a lot for the 70's drive/feel.
There is a little spot around 4:22/23 where the drums are matching the guitars in the punch where it slips off a bit. But that's the only critique I'd have. This is good, good stuff!
Also I like the tone of the vocals - effects?

Thanks Clam. 4:22, I think that's where I fell of my drum stool 
.
Vocal effects, just a little compressor, eq and reverb and a slight pitch shift to give a slight doubling effect.
Bisson and Greg, I really do appreciate what your saying, I'm not really after pristine drums on this. Listening to a lot of stuff from this era much commercial stuff didn't sound much better, but it's what I'm after. I would like to get a bit more power out of the snare. I've been trying a boost around 200hz and 2Khz and adding some parralell compression (how many l's and r's?) and it seems to be giving it a bit more ummphh.
I know it's siso, but I'm hoping for si polished so.
They had a programme on the BBC about mixing and they played a before and after of a Springstein track. On the first one the snare sounded average, on the second it sounded amazing, and I thought wow this guys a genius, how did he pull that sound out of that snare. Then in the interview he said how he always carried around samples of snares and stuff that he like and he'd just replaced the snare with the sample, I was really gutted.
I might have a go at retracking the drums, maybe with some damping on the snare, it seems to ring a bit long, loosing the snap. I resurected this song mainly so I could practice recording and playing drums, it originally had programmed drums, so that's my philosophy with this one, but thanks for the advice, I do appreciate your input. I am a drumming nube, I'm still getting excited about using my cowbell for the first time).

the drums are "too open" for my taste. when the ride is playing, its getting harsh. the bass could also have more bottom. the guitars are bit thin too.
wow, the voice is really harsh. is that a live performance?
nice guitar solo!
