Hey AndyGallas, thanks for your review. I agree, the vocals are a little loud in places. I also have some personal taste qualms with the mid-range distortion on the vocals that I wasn't able to remedy and perhaps overlooked the slight level imbalance.
The drums and general punchiness have suffered from a quickie mastering job and need a bit of automation, of which I don't do enough on these practice mixes. Time constraints from client mixes and my real job -_- tend to encourage laziness in that respect. Very perceptive of you to pick up on that, though. I'm impressed.
As for the guitars, they could certainly feel a little wider, although I've given them quite a bit of spread here. What you're hearing is a consequence of layering the guitars so thickly. If I remixed this, I'd probably automate a stereo enhancer on the master buss to kick in during the choruses.
Thanks again for your time and perceptive comments.
