Great mix, I kinda like the first one, the tonal balance of the instruments is a very subjective theme, where one tell you the guitars are too bright, other can tell you the guitars are too dark. What i founded in the first amped guitar, is a resonance in the fundamental of the scale C#4 (262 Hz), and then the harmonics C#5 (565 Hz), and C#6 (1131 Hz). I think in that version, you used an EQ on the mixbus, good for guitars, if you have that project version, and you can send the drums to another bus, with another EQ settings, it will sound super great. Last, this kind of genre is very, very dynamic, more than almost all other genres, when one use the chorus to start balancing the instruments in the mix, the chorus will sound right, but the verses ... well, the kick will sound to high, the vocals will sound too high,etc. After the compression, the dynamic range of all signals will be almost the same, but, in the verses, the drummer plays more quieter, the guitar player, plays more quieter, etc. And for that, we need to balance manually the verses (if you mixed the chorus first), that means, volume automations, is time consuming, I know, but the final results are great.
