Okidoki.....

Bass turned up.  I've re-sculpted the low end a little to accommodate the bass drum which got a little lost with the level increase.

As always, how did I do?

Like the tune a lot.

There seems be a lot of space in the middle with the guitars panned so hard. But there could use some opening up on the highs on the guitars.

With my sub off I can barely make out the bass.

The snare and vocal could use some width, aybe use a short room verb and push something off to the sides. Might make the whole thing feel more cohesive.

Thanks for your comments James.  the Vocal already has short verb albeit plate. I'll have a look.

As a matter of interest which mix are you listening to? I thought the Bass was clearer on attempt 3, although as Danny points out above on mix 2 it was very burried. Hmm perplexed now :-( 

Bass is pretty clear here.

I jumped straight in at mix #3 and seems pretty well balanced on first listen.

Great sound - lovely guitar work and I can definitely hear the plate on the vox

Phew, thanks Bristol....I thought I was loosing the plot there.

Thanks for taking the time to listen, I'll pass on your comments to the guitarist! Much appreciated.

Mix # 3.

I am now listening on my VAIO AllInOne PC and the bass is slightly more present but still muddy as all get out.

Still sounds empty in the middle.

OK Thanks James, I'll definitely take another look. 

I was listening on phones - Sennheiser HD25's

The challenge here is the low toms are in the same frequency range as the upper bass notes. So, the only way to make that work is musically, which you have done fairly well. I suspect you have a bit more compression room you can use to kick the bass up a db and see how that works. I do not find it too muddy, but that may change when you up the levels a bit. If thats the case you might need to carve a bit out of the low toms so that you get the hit, but let the bass carry the tone. You have a bad drum stumble at 2:20. Check that transition.

Thanks for breaking your silence foxwolfen :-) 

Yeah I probably do, I'm the drummer so know how badly I can stumble :-/. I'll take a listen. and since its midi, I'm sure it can be corrected. 
Ok good points on the Toms and Bass, I definitely have more Bass headroom so, I'll check that too.

Thanks very much for taking and interest and listening.
