Mixing advice, and guitar trouble

[Dr. Herman]

Hi there,

I am in dire need of some advice. The band and I have just finished recording most of the tracks for a new song, but when we are mixing it we cant get it right, nomatter what we do the mix sounds thin and doesn't glue together.

The biggest problem is the rythm guitars, we just cant find a guitar sound that fits with the song.

Could you please give me some general advice in what could make the mix sound better. Changes in volume, pan, dubbling and so on.

And give ideas on how to get a guitar sound that fits the song. We play melodic prog rock inspired by Porcupine Tree, Anathema, and so on... And when i listen some those bands it seems as if the guitar is pretty hidden in the mix but they still make the music hard and makes it sound "big", which is excactly what we are looking for.. A huge sound and still abit hard.

I have uploadet two versions of the track, on with rythm guitar and one without.
It can be downloadet here:

YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement

Im pretty happy with the lead sound, which is just the the dry guitar panned left and a reverb and delay track panned right.

All guitars are recorded through a Marshall JCM 2000 + 1960B Cab.. I also have a line signal which could be used in amplitube if needed.

Please any advice is very apriciated.

Thanks!
