First time posting one of practice mixes on the internet for me. This one made me realize how important keeping organized is. I had to do a lot of 'where is that sound coming from' hunting around in the session

That's a very good job for a beginner! Nice choice for snare drum. I assume you used samples right, then I would suggest you look into some triggering mistakes because I hear plenty where it wasn't triggered (either that or you used a gate and didn't set the threshold right). Also try bringing up the snare a little bit in the chorus either by volume or some high shelf EQ. It sits nicely in the verse (with some cool rock'n'roll delays), but kinda gets buried a little bit in the chorus. And according to the mix notes given by David Tyo, I suggest you bring down the guitar slides. He says they were just for complementing the vocals. Speaking of vocals, the vocals in the chorus need a little bit more space to fit in the mix, and accentuate their energy. I my mix I started with some fast delay with high feedback/revisions, and then add a touch of plate. Hopefully that sparks some ideas. Have fun mixing, and check out my mix, too!

Your mix is pretty good. One note, if you are participating in the contest I don't believe you can use samples.
