Hey ON-ITB overall, pretty decent balances here and I like the up front vocals - you did a good job of leveling out some very dynamic vocals.
A few things could use some work:
- Generally, there is a bit of a build up causing some muddiness in the low mids around the 200-300hz mark. My guess is the main culprits are the guitars and the close mics on the drums. Using a bit of reductive eq on those at the track level might clear things up a bit in the low end of the mix.
- The guitars have some low end "chugs" that jump out unevenly and overwhelm the mix at times. High passing the guitars can help to clear that up and, once again, make more room for the kick and bass in the low end. The secret is to high pass just to the point where you hear that unevenness go away. Of course, don't cut too much low end, or the guitars will end up sounding too thin, but it might surprise you how much low end you can get away with cutting on the guitars.
- The drums are getting a little lost in the guitar onslaught. Perhaps adding a little more transient attack to the drums will bring them further forward and help them stand out a little more.
- I think the mix compression/limiting is reacting to the low end buildup in the guitar chugs and causing some level "pumping" at times. Some high passing should help, but also high passing the side-chain of the mix compressor can help stop that happening as well.
