Long way home
#1
Another song I mixed. Main vocal came a little brighter than I would like, otherwise I think that it is a good mix. And a great song.

I'm not hearing the vocals as too bright, but I think the dry signal could come up and sit on top of the vocal fx. That extra distortion to the guitar sounds pretty cool too!

Version 2. Now I think that I refined it. I used dynamic EQ and I think that it works as it should. Vocal retains the brightness but is less brittle than it was before.

3rd revision. I changed the panning of acoustics and now the solo guitar in the intros sounds more polite. I heard that when it was distorted, it felt wrong somehow for me, that is why I made that change.

I like the tone of V3. It's a bit 'dreamy' but it works. I think the bass guitar might be a little heavy/out in front at times. The vocal reverb might be a bit too much. At least in the verses. The vocal also could be out front just a hair more in the choruses. This feels like a photograph and the background elements are bit blurred, which is fine but the vocal could be more in focus in contrast.
Guitar 1 (I think) should come back in the second verse.
I don't know if you have a mix bus compressor but overall the mix feels a little 'constrained' during the louder sections at the end.

I think that's it. It's pleasant to listen. Good job.

My answer is a bit too late, but I do have limiter and tape simulation plugins on mix bus.
