Need opinions of mix

[lttoler]

My bandmates and I are trying to get everything set right for recordings a cover band demo this week. We set up the mics and made this instrumental mix as a test and I wanted to get some opinions.

Any advice on this mix would be greatly appreciated!

more bottom?

Sounds like the snare needs to be up a little more and the guitar brought down a few db. Other than that it's hard to know what's going on with a short clip

well.. first question.. is that the sound of the instruments dry? cuz if so. it sounds really clean. i really have no "rep" on here.. . but as for my mixing opinion. it sounds good. i agree the snare is lower than i would like. but as far as the guitar. i think that would really depend on the final mix with vocals. but if this is just a demo and no vocals are going to be added . then i think its safe to say that yall are on the right track. choose an engineer wisely .. cuz that decision can make or break songs..lol.

Sounds good

hi.

It sounded good, but is it compressed really hard....?

I agree, snare up, and perhaps take a little compression off the bass drum and use some more EQ'ing instead - other than that it's good
