Added two guitar tracks. Excuse the little mistakes (specifically from 0:40 to 0:50), I'm going to do some more punch ins tommorow. Nothing applied to any of the tracks except some slight panning in the guitars. Drums are still DFH, on the "Roomy" setting with the kick mic level boosted a bit and the overhead mic level cut a little.
Is there a way to get my guitars to sound less "dry" and sterile? It could be that I used a cheapo guitar for the tracking, but I enjoy the amp very much. I think I might re-track with the Les Paul this weekend. I was hesitant to use it as this guitar parts are all in an alternate tuning. I also wasn't expecting too good results anyway with my limited mixing knowledge. However, what do you think the next step in the mic would be here?

edit: Also, just out of curiosity, I took that same mix and put it through a Mastering preset in Logic just to see what it'd do. I'm not too sure that I like it very much, but I have no idea what I'm talking about with a lot of this stuff!

edit2: Also, ignore that sloppy repeated lick at the end. I'm going to punch in a better take of that too, and when I'm finally happy with the mixdown (and add vocals) I'm going to automate a fade-out into the next song. You can even hear the goofy sequenced MIDI scratch tracks fading in at the end.
