Sounds great

Good mix, the vibe fits the song.

Snare could have more meat in the low mids and the kick drum a little more weight and definition.

Voice feels a little loud on the sections where some instruments drop.

And some automation would make the mix more exciting. Little things like boosting a drum hit on the downbeat on the beginning of a new section.

Changed Snare and kick a bit, and adjusted the voc volume in the quiet part, what do you think?
to me the kick has a bit more weight, but i dont know how to get it even more clear...

Hi Hainwerker - i think you've got a pretty solid mix going on. To my ears it sounds a bit mid-rangey overall but that's something you can fix quite easily in the master buss EQ - a gentle shelving boost across the top and bottom ( 1-2 db) should help clarity, open the mix up a bit, and balance the mid-range.

cheers

Snare drum could use some more low end power, and the overheads sound a bit too harsh to me. Solo could even be a bit louder too.

But very good mix overall! One of the better ones I've heard on this forum.
