Bass sounds fine to me. What Eqs did you do to the guitars? To me they sound a tad bid muddy in the begging.

The cymbals sounds quite low-fi and stale and is what I would focus most on at the moment. Make sure to work on the velocities. Maybe more room mic to get cymbals wider?

the cymbals are samples, they are wav files that i put into the DAW, i dont have the room or equipment to record a live kit

can anyone give ma an opinion on the guitar EQ then?

I like the part from 0.54 to 1.11 .

On guitars you seem to be boosting the mids with a huge Q, which leads to that cloudy/muddy tone.
Maybe you should use a narrow Q and go across the range to find the frequency that accentuates the "bite" of the guitars. Try not overdoing it, of course.

Another tip: LESS CAPZ LOCKZ

The snare sounds like it's too compressed, or the attack/release/gain reduction is set very aggressively and is detrimental to the sound of the snare. I'd probably add a bit more reverb to it as well, very dry as is.

listening back yeah the snare is lost as fuck, do you think that is from the mastering chain then yea?
stupidly i havent added any rever to the kit yet only mastering reverb is what you can hear. obviously the snare will cut through the mix much better with some reverb with a nice pre delay on it, maybe guna lay off the gain reduction a little bit. thankyou!

Digging that bass heaps man

im guessing im doing ok on the bass tone then?
im in two minds as to what to do with my reverb that i have on the mastering setup. because it is obviously adding reverb to everything. i like what it does to the cymbals but its giving my guitars extra fizz (which i dont want)
do you guys normaly put a mastering reverb on your mixes? + here is my newest mix where i have added verb to the drum kit in the mix and its hopefuly recovered some of the snare

here is my newest version. i have cut some frequencies i didnt like in the guitars around 4Khz and changed the bass Eq around a tiny bit.
+ new mastering
let me know what you think of my progress..
