Hi Mike - pretty cool mix!... I like the overall balances, and the way you kept the mix in the overall shape it was intended to be...
A few points I noticed:
- There is a bit of a disparity between the sound of some of the internal mix elements. For example, the drum sound is quite "hi-fi" and very full from low to high in the frequency range, whereas the vocals and the main riff guitar sound a little less polished and pristine.
- Along the lines of the above, I would suggest looking to clear out the boxiness in the 350-500hz area on the riff guitar
- The vocal sounds like it needs a little more "air" to bring it in line with the drums
- There is a bit of a low end/low mid buildup in the background vocals that tends to make them sound a bit dull and muffled - maybe some more stringent high-passing would do the trick.
- I think you could afford to lose just a little bit of sub bass out of the kick drum. It tends to dominate the mix in that really low area probably just a little too much for this style of music. A slimmer kick drum down there may help the groove just feel a little lighter and move it along better in line with the tempo of the track.
That said, I like the way the chorus hits - you really nailed the vibe of that part of the track.
