Mix from a band I did today

[Nik D]

Hey, just tracked this band tonite, and I'm going to email them a pretty polished mix, maybe not final, tomorrow. My ears are pretty shot, what do you guys think I can improve? I think the toms may need to come down just a bit maybe. Not too many rock bands have Fender Rhodes in them, it's kinda cool! Link is here.

Sounds pretty good.

The kick could have a bit more bass punch to it. Vocals sound distant. Maybe they like that. The guitar on the left channel sounds clipped. The distortion sounds pretty thin on it. Too much high end i guess. The snare is pretty dry and might need some more reverb on it. Short reverb that is.

Thanks for the response. I worked on those things you mentioned, and this second mix is much better as far as I can tell. I did notice the left guitar making clipping sounds, but that's not from something I did. All the guitars were direct, and he must have been clipping from his fx station. I'll see if he wants to redo it when they come back next time...
