Ok so here's my second song post except this one has vocals.

I mixed until my head hurt and until i hated the song so now I need advice/construtive criticism. And yes i do hear that freakin fret buzz....[shitty guitar], and flat vocals.

Im using reaper.

Fire away here's the link.

Both Vocal tracks are too low, and the drum track I think - maybe its just the guitar is too loud. The background vocals definitely need to come up though. Can't make too much of an opinion on the drums and EQ because i am listening on crap PC speakers. I think the song overall sounds pretty good. i'll check it again on my monitors next time I get over there.

I like it
 
I tweaked the mix here and there....check it out, i need advice.
Thanks!

The guitars are too present and the vocal is too far back IMO. The image of the soundstage is kind of ass backwards. It feels like the guitars are right up front, the vocalist is about 20 feet behind the guitars and the drums are another 20 feet behind him

I'd use some reference tracks to compare yours to occaisionaly as you mix, see how main stream songs are sounding, where the vocals sit in comparison to the guitar and so on and see if yours makes sense compared to other songs

Also the finger drag on every riff god a little old, for me, pretty quickly

Not a bad song if you can tidy it up

Ok...this the kind of advice i need.

As far as the finger drag thingy, yea im not a guitar player at all. I was going to come up with a lick to put over the top of it but because of my lack of skills ii couldnt make it happen. not yet anyways.....thought about just cutting it in half?

Thanks
