Hi, Roberto!

Thank you for sharing this piece with us.

I agreed with Mark suggestions.

Try dynamics LADSPA plugins (compressors, limiters) to avoid clipping
and increase(without fanaticism) loudness of separate instruments.

Shift bass to the center and cut a bit of bass frequency from rhythm
guitar for cleanness of bass.
