Hello everyone! I'm a beginner in mixing. This track is like the 5th track that i mixed. Would like to have some criticism and advices and overall opinions. Thanks!
Right out of the gate, I hear too much compression. There is pumping and ducking going on whenever there's a lot of low end energy (for example, low tom roles are causing everything to duck out). I would relax on the compression a bit and also, maybe, shorten their release times. Also, the low end is a bit too boomy and needs taming. The vocals are buried in the mix. I find myself straining to hear them. Otherwise, not bad at all for a beginner. You're on the right track for sure.

I reuploaded edited version, tweaked here and there a little, think i'll move on to another track for now, take me a long time to mix. got really tired of this track)
