The guitars sound smaller than they would if you had backed off the gain just abit (10% maybe).
I'd hearing what sounds like a lot of close mic on the toms and snare. They are a bit muddy sounding. One solution to this would be to turn the cymbals down 2-3dB and then add a high shelf boost @ 5k (give or take) of 2-3dB. That'll add quite a bit of life to the whole drum kit. I like it on the 2bus sometimes too. Try it and see if you like what it does.

Everything was recorded in a basment, and the toms are closed miced. I am going to move to our lead guitarest house in a larger room to redo the tracking. I have been fighting with the snare sound alot. I belive im going to change from a Shure PG 58, to a Sennheiser e835 and place a Nady DM 70 on the bottem then take care of the phase in sonar. I also have been having problems with the OH mics on the drums, but hope the larger room with help me with the head room there. Just got a few DI boxes in today to help out on the guitar, Ill have the new mix up after it is played with a bit. Thank you for your input! I love getting feedback.
