Hey asd625555,
lots to like about your mix
- Great drums
- Nice guitar tone
- Overall, mix has a pleasing frequency spectrum; neither harsh nor muddy. Nice
- Nice male vox - he's a great singer so always a pleasure to mix. maybe a dB or two boost would help command the song but equally, where it is currently isn't atypical for the genre
Things that you could work on (if you had the files
)
- guitars seem very static level wise - some (more) automation for different sections could help drive song dynamics e.g. mid section level vs verse or chorus
- female vox seems a bit loud vs male in harmony sections and honestly, a bit boring in general - some cool fx could work wonders
- the master level of your mix is -8LUFS, so is officially squashed. Loudness wars are largely over, especially for streaming services
Good job

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
