I like the way your drums and vocals sound, however your mix sound VERY disconnected and unbalanced. The vocals are SUPER loud, then the kick, while everything else, particularly the guitars are totally buried.
I think you should try balancing at super low volume and make sure you can ear everything.
Hey Dave
Good to see you back. I agree with what Florian said, vocals could come down some and a bit more balance. Tones all sound good to me, drums especially.
Good Job!!

Thanks for the input guys. I had an unexpected crisis that kept me away for about 3 weeks; no access to PCs to mix on, all I could do was listen to tunes on my iPhone. I'm getting back into the swing of things, slowly but surely.
I reworked this mix twice, in Logic and in Reaper. I like the latter (Reaper) mix better so I'll post it here.
Peace,
Dave

Your second mix sounds much balanced. Kick is still a bit too loud and distractive but definitely much balanced
Now I have the feeling your mix sound very centered and lacks some stereo. Have you panned hard the guitars ?
Thanks again for the reviews, guys its much appreciated.
Mandubien, ElGtr1 is a stereo track and not panned but the remaining ElGtrs2 thru 5 are all hard panned. All acoustic guitars had been down the center, so I'm gonna move AcGtr2&3 to opposite sides. Also, the kick and snare are now exactly the same peal level.
