ya, my mixing skills are crappy at best. I think I got a little carried away with the stereo delay in protools. To give it a bit "fuller" sound, I've been using that, and it comes out sounding like it's being played through a little metal box. I've think I've got to use less effects and use the pan nobs more...maybe a little eq work.
Another problem I've got is I've been using drum a machine...until just a mater of days ago, I didn't know how to program it...so I've just been using a simple repetitive loop. Not only have I been using just a loop, but I don't even have it in stereo on that recording, so I used stereo delay again to beef that up. I think another part of my problem is the fact that I am using a drum machine as little more than a metronome. There's no difference from one part to another. Once I get that drum machine working to it's potential (or dare I say use a real drummer), I might have some better separations of different sections.
