Mucho input needed

[Re-tox_stl]

Hey guys. I just got finished (kinda) with a song for my friends band, and I would like you to critique it (the mixing that it). Now i haven't put a limiter on it yet, so its kinda quiet, but you get the just. Thanks, and please, dont hold back on comments. The harsher the better

Much love, Drew

p.s. this is only the second song I have ever mixed, just an fyi

p.s.s. for some reason, when I bounce it out of logic, the quality gets raped, so thats why it sounds funky

I enjoyed it! I think all the parts are there and sound well recorded but if I can add my 2cents...

Thought the bass drum lacked a bit of punch.
The second guitar seemed a bit high in the mix.
The vocal dynamic could be tamed a bit like the passage between 2.15 -2.25 it sounds like he is moving back and forth from the mic.
The bass line was promising at the start but seemed to get lost?

Hope that doesn't seem too harsh!

thanks for the input! But by second guitar you mean?

Good performances all round. In any mix that's 80% of the battle. Try compressing the vocal, it will make it seem louder and sit in the mix better. Also look at the kick which is buried. Try double tracking and EQing/compressing it differently
