Well, I'm now properly broke as joke due to various repairs needed to my house to the tune of 6 or 7 thousand quid and today my bass player/engineer quit my band, which while it was expected has thrown the last 3 months of tracking in the air.
I'm gonna get the tracks off him and try to mix it myself in my newly found time of probably not being able to leave the house for the fear of costs for the immediate future. So maybe I'll learn something new, plus I get my bass guitar back. Not all doom and gloom!
Any tips guys?
I guess the sort of sound I'm looking for is in this ballpark (not that we sound anything like these bands)
The last time I tried to mix and then master something myself it came out as the most compressed and bassy load of arse juice known to mankind, so I figured my issue was that I was trying to get a mastered sound while just mixing.
I can't afford any new plug ins, the stock Logic X ones will have to do for now and well, yeah that's about it. Any help and advice would be amazing.
Thanks.

Again, you should be in London. You could have popped over and we would have sorted you out.
I haven't got the time right now to write a load of long winded tips but will certainly help with any things as they arise.
How were the drums recorded? How many mics?
With regards to the second of those points, I found this online critical listening course very useful (and pretty challenging - and I've always thought I've got fairly 'good ears'). I'm not sure when they'll run it again but I recommend it highly.
