Maybe reduce the mids (around say 500hz?) on some instruments to scoop out more space for the vocals. I think doing it on some tracks would work better than cutting the overall mix.
It feels compressed to me (though I'm hardly one to judge compression). However, looking at the waveform it does have some dynamic range. Especially at the choruses. So I'm not sure.
Maybe some of my issues have to do with any potential reverb added in post. May I ask why you do that? If it works for you then great but it's somewhat unusual and I'm curious to know what the reasoning is.
Over all it's not bad. It can still use some work but it's a good start. There's a lot going on in this song.
Thanks for your reply, I didn't cut any freqs during the mastering process, and I didn't really eq tracks a lot in the mix because I wanted to keep their "natural raw" sound. So probably the mid range problem is related to guitars (but I may be wrong).
Regarding the reverb in post production I feel it's more a personal thing, I wanted to catch that 90's indie sound and I think it connects each instruments better and it adds some "glue". The bad side of this is that if I use a lot of "reverb" the track may sound "crowded", so maybe I have to decrease that.
