My band's EP recordings

First impressions:

1) More string noise than is unavoidable. Should be more mindful of this in the future.
2) Guitar doesn't cut well when using effects.
3) Too much stuff high in the mix. Nothing can be heard very well (except the guitar(s)) because of this- not even the lead vocals at times.
4) Backing vocals WAY too high in the mix.
5) Too many effects on track three- it's distracting and I can't tell what the singer is saying.
6) Point the snare drum mike a bit closer to the rim and add a touch more treble next time.
7) The last two songs I just don't like.

Not meant to be harsh, just stuff I'd have done differently.

Best,
c
