1st bounce - (please help), opinions sought - Rock +punk...

[Enginearing]

constructive feedback and critiques much appreciated.

some background:
this is the 1st bounce after tracking Vocals.

3 pce band recorded live in a shoebox. (okay a rehearsal room, approx 18'x12x8. eiew i know)
guitar cab was in a seperate room (similar size/shape) both rooms without treatment.
myself and the bass cab were in the same room as the drums, iso'd the cab as much as realistically possible.
Vox were later overdubbed at home, in a blanket-"booth"

gear used:
003r,
ADA8000 (now replaced, can't wait to put my asp008AES to work now),
imac - (ITB)
my own selection of mid level mics (D6, sm57, 904s, ck91s, Beta52, NT3, 906, NTK etc)

some thing's i've found impressive, but others are erking me a little...
i think i may be fighting a few things to do with the bass - i've notched out the low freq where the kick bleeds, but it may be to drastic?

This is my first post in this forum and all advise will be much appreciated.


thanks!!
Ben

hey I like the tune. the guitar I think is a little "floppy" sounding. Thats just the first word that came to mind. not very punchy. I think whatever you took out on bass freq killed your kick drum. vox need to come up a bit. I like the vox though, very bowling for soupish. Keep up the good work!

I hear one main prob: rhythm gtr is booming at maybe 250k. Sweep around with a boosted EQ and find the spot, then kill it.

And if you have the time, could you check out a song I just posted? "I'm not Atlas...."

bump any more thoughts and suggestions?

thanks so far...

Hi!

nice tracking.

the only thing i don't like at the moment is the lack of low-mid punch in the snare.. this way it 's losing in terms of power to other elements.

and as mentioned above overall boomy sound. try to get more control over the low mids
