Default Please help me out! Bash Mr. Cyclops

So I did a live recording of a friends band awhile ago, and since then I've learned quite a bit about recording. So I remixed one of their songs, Mr. Cyclops, and this one definitely sounds better than my previous mixes. I feel like I can hear all the instruments clearly, but there is still something wrong/missing in the mix. So please help me out! ps there are quite a few clicks because the bass drum faders were set a little too high.

Mic'd:
2 Overheads - AT8031
1 Snare - SM57
1 Bass Drum - Shure Beta 57

1 Guitar - SM57

1 Bass Guitar - DI

All the tracking was done in the same room.

If you need any more info please just ask!

What did you use to record this?

It's not a horrible mix except for the obvious clipping that you're aware of.

The whole mix is a bit dark though. I would consider cutting some low mids from the kick, it's boxxy. Kill the 400's that should fix it. I would also HPF those overheads a little more, their muddying up your mix.

Those guitar FX are sick. I likey.

The spread is nice.

The bass is tad muddy. It's lacking air/presence.

Holy fuck I just hit the outro guitar...SICK!
