Metal cover of A Forest

Hello,

I have been recording a cover band who is playing classic rock songs. This song is A Forest from The Cure.

I am posting it because i have trouble making the mix sound good on most hifi systems. I have tried a lot of things but can't make it happen. The most trouble i have with the bass and bassdrum sound.

Can you please help me further?

Equipment:
Drumkit is a cheap majestic kit, doesn't sound really good.
Kick -> D112
Snare -> SM57
Tom's -> SM57
OH -> KM184

Bass is played on a fender thru a Hartke 3500A.
DI -> DI signal from amplifier
MIC -> D112

Both guitars were played thru a Randall RH200 on a RA412XL cabinet.
MIC guitar1 -> EV RE20
MIC guitar2 -> SM57
MIC solo -> EV RE20

The singer is singing thru a AKG C2000B. We tried the EV and the shure but he didn't sound good thru it.

Everyting is recorded thru the Saffire Pro 26 i/o and then recorded in reaper. The mixing is done in Samplitude Pro 8.5.

Please give me critics and advices so i can work on my mixing and tracking skills.

I'm only listening on laptop speakers at the moment, but the drums sound a little overheady and distant. I like where you are going with it though!

Thank you for your comment. What do you mean with overheady? That it is to much cymbal and ambience?

hi all,

I have made some progress on the mixes. Can you please take a listen and give me some feedback to work with?

ps: I have included 3 different numbers instead of 1.
