Need Help With this mix

[Mat1515]

Sounds Extreamly Muddy

If annyone here is using pro tools LE or TDM Maybe I could send you the whole session to fiddle with if anyone is interested

Thanks

Heres the file

Ok, there's a lot of problems here. Sorry to say it does not sound fixable by mixing...maybe improvable but you will always have less than you could if you retracked.

First off everything sounds roomy and distant. You need to get mics closer on stuff. What the hell is up with those BG vocs? Is that looped? That singer needs less beer or more beer I'm not sure which.

The mud here is a result of having the same room noise on each track build up in the mix. If you have a great sounding room it can be nice but not on vocals or electric guitars so much.

Ugh.

did you eq this and add way to much treble?sonds alittle like that..but i dunno, as said above mic closer (it doesnt sound like you mic'ed seperately to me, or you mic'ed the guitar and bass and vocals, then drums...idunno, you cant really fix it to sound like a crisp professional recording-if its live it sounds good ya know...

Im just verb happy

If I think something sounds like shit I just add reverb

Thats my problem I should just re track everything

I only tracked the drums with 3 mics

Some of the greatest drums ever recorded were done with three mics...even less.

The guitars sound very distant. The tones don't work either. Drummer is
talented. Drums sound distant too. Everything sounds distant.
You said you tracked the drums with 3 mics? Sounds like ya tracked
whole band with 3 mics. I would retrack and try to get closer sound.
Try different guitar tones too. (just my opinion)

Same here. Less mics just simplify things and force you to get everything sounding good before mixing.
