Guitar tones are awesome.. bass is too loud and drums are very...squashed. I think you over did the limiter there is pumping there.
guitar tones are so good though that's what I struggled with.

Thanks! The guitars just need some of the frequencies cleaned up and then a nice high boost.

Uploaded Mix 2. Redid the drums a bit and adjusted the bass a bit.

hi! listened version 2. like shul said. indeed the drum mics/samples feel like they're ducking the overheads/cymbals a bit too much? maybe separate ohs/cmbls from drum bus? the bass has a kind of 'over solid edm character', maybe ease up on that too? guitars and vocals have great tone. also nice clipping/fast limiting on main mix. great work! ^_^

Thanks! I couldn't quite get the vibe I was after without slamming the limiter hard
Redid the drum bus compression (opted for some parallel compression instead) and redid the bass tone in Mix 3!

hi! in overall, i think youve been changing your highs into not-so-good direction after version 2. in version 4 it's approaching 'toothache'. maybe some high frequency limiting for main mix or something could be useful? the bass and mids seem to be in good balance. ^_^

Yeah! Agreed... things got way too bright. I fixed things up I think now with mix 5. I started doing some automation. Overall I think I'm pretty happy with how it is turning out now. There's still some stuff I want to change up but it takes too long to export this song now lol. I'll save that for another day.

Hi Niko
The only thing is the snare, I don't know if its the reverb, but sounds a little hollow. other than that everything else is sounding good.
Nice Job!
Cheers
