Since this is a rock song you can always get away with more aggressive compression on the vocals, and that might help you with your vocal problems. If you dont like the sound from using 1 heavy compressor on the vocals, try putting 2 compressors back to back to split the amount of compression they are doing. That way you can get the compression you need without the negative effects of doing it all with one compressor
Also try cutting out some low end of the vocals, they come across a bit muddy.
The bass and drums are a bit quiet for my taste. I honestly think the drums could use some parallel compression to beef them up, but i wouldnt worry too much about that considering you are still learning. I think its a great first attempt. Remember that this is a long journey and dont get discouraged! keep it up!
Thanks for your feedback mate. I'm still struggling to get my vocal levels right. Having problems judging my own mixes, and it really great having someone else's perspective. Cheers!
A start, before I can stop..
