Hi i think the mix could do with cutting a fair bit around 4-5 k and a bit more boost around 250 ish.
The over all mix is very wet with reverb etc so maybe back off on the acoustic a bit.
The e guitar sort of sounds like its overdriving in some way and is not sitting in the mix very well.
If it was me i would back off on the guitars and let the drums drive the song more rather than guitars
and try to get the bottom end a bit more solid.
The hats are also very loud,this could be overspill from another mic like a tom etc so these things
are worth checking out.Its always better to try to get things right it the mix rather than trying to eq the master.
Also good advice Mike gave me is eq in the mix not things on their own.

Hi,

you were right about the 3-6khz zone it was cutting thru the mix a bit too much. And I also remixed the bottom end so its a bit punchier. Thanks for your opinion and I hope you will have time to listen and comment on this second version.

Hi,to my ears it could still do with a 3db ish cut around 350 and a very small boost around 4-k.
The hats are still a bit there but the hats are tricky in this track i know.
Also the fade at the end could be smoother as it is a bit quick.
I also think the bass sound is a bit muddy along with the kick and this
is making the track lack bottom end punch
