mixdown suggestions

Hello, i'm not sure i'm posting this in the right place, but it didn't seem right to put it in music showcase as it's unfinished. Feel free to move it mods.



So this is a mix for this Cypriot documentary i'm working on. My main concerns are that the low strings of the rhythm guitar and the bass are getting in the way of each other. EQ suggestions about this would be helpful.
Also a concern is the pan. My set-up is unbalanced and heavily weights to the left. I need to recable it all at some point then i can see if the problem is with the cable or the interface or the amp. Anyway, in the meantime i've shifted the balance control on the amp to counteract this. If you notice any overpanning or inbalance, please let me know.
Thanks
Dave

The guitar and bass sound fine together to me.

In terms of balance, the tremolo-picking and vocals are both quite far to the right, and they're the two most treblesome things going on, so it sounds a bit unbalanced to the right for me.

Nice tune though :)

Ok, thanks rev. Maybe i'm just over-listening

Or maybe what you feel is getting in the way of each other, I think is blending nicely :wink:
