hmm... this is your "studio" version? huh... sounds like it needs a lot of work... as far as the raw indie feel that it's probably supposed to have, i get that... but... there are numerous things that need to be tweaked... i personally hate that guitar distortion, it grates the nerves, sounds really bad IMO... the rhythm overall is a little slip shod, in places you guys could be a lot tighter... guitar has some minor tuning issues... i kinda like the song otherwise though, it's an admirable attempt... i just don't think it sounds like a real honest to goodness studio version... home studio version yeah... but "studio" implies to me that you will have a producer there coaxing the best performances out of you - and IMO you guys really did not execute the best performances you could have come up with... good idea, good attempt... but back to the drawing board

To be honest I wouldn't consider it 'mixed' or 'produced' as much as 'recorded'. Drums sound ok but are panned strangely and don't have alot of presence. The distorted guitar is ugly. Vocals are surprisingly good, but again let down by the production. However, I think a good mastering job could improve this markedly. In fact I'm gonna give it a go now Golden rule is to get it right at the mixing stage, though. Besides my mastering is far from pr0

I suggest you listen to 'commercial' tracks you like the sound of as a benchmark for stereo positioning and levels of the different elements. You also need to do alot of ground work on EQ and compression to bring this in line with a more professional sound.

Composition of the track is pretty sound, as is the playing. Entheon picked up on a few timing issues which can only be improved with practise.

Interesting thing is, with a *true* 'studio' version I can envisage this sounding pretty hot! Best of luck, and I look forward to hearing more
