Hi Sergey,

The recording sounds nice but I would prefer the guitar to be a little louder, two ways you could achieve this is (if guitar and snare are on separate tracks)
1) reduce the treble on the snare drum, this puts it further away in the mix, or 2) change the balance, make the guitar a little louder and use the panpots to place the snare and guitar a bit further apart in the stereo-mix
(if you feel really adventurous you could also add a little reverb on the snare-drum which also puts it further away in the mix, don't use too much reverb, this will sound unnatural)
kind regards

Frans
