Hi Cudjoe ,
I Like your mix of this challenging track sounds well balanced, I have to have another shot at soon.
The top end of the vocals sound a touch un-natural not sure if they are a touch too de-essed or could be the phase effect.
A Touch more bottom end on the bass and kick would sound great, may require reducing a resonance in the bass guitar at somewhere around 151hz with a narrow q parametric and a little more balance with the bass and kick ,not sure if the kick needs less 90hz to give the bass some room.
Just some thoughts.
Cheers

Thanks thedon, i have tried one more different signal chain mix which i feel as opened up and gave it more bottom end all comments are welcomed.

Wow the last version is a huge improvement especially in the bottom end.
Being really critical can hear some harsh frequencies with the vocals and guitars.
I done a quick master eq at around 2.5k 3.5k and 4.5k and uploaded a short sample of at least how it sounds on my monitors.
It's better to sort out some upper frequencies of the vocals and guitars in the individual tracks but may change the overall sound your looking for.
Well Done

Hey Cudjoe, listening to you're latest revision and it sounds great! The only things that I can really complain about is that the bass and kick seem to be fighting around 200-400 Hz and the toms are quite muffled compared to the rest of the drums. I recommend using a dynamic eq on the bass triggered from the kick in that 200-400 Hz range so that it gels a little more. In the bridge the lead vocal could come down a little more to fit with the mix but otherwise the mix is fine.

Cheers,
Dcp
