I'm not saying anyone is not good, but things wold be much easier to gel if the timing was MUCH tighter. Performance should be rule #1. If you guys played REALLY tight and inspired, I bet a much better mix could be gotten.

Next time you record, pay more attention and try to get your BEST performance... mistakes in the recording process don't seem to be as evident when the band is slamming...
Thanks for the advice. I'm not actually in this band I"m just recording them. I tried to get them to use a click track, but it just wasn't working, because the drummer had never played with one before.
