#1
Here is my Mix and Master of the song: Peppermark - 'Another Feeling

Categories to comment on (if the song contains these) could include:

Bass
Drums
Horns (Brass)
Strings
Overall Balance (I find a perfectly balanced mix to be boring, personally, so generally, I'll pick some things to stand out a tad more sometimes)
Highs
Automation

Plugins and software I use include the following:

iZotope RX Advanced 10 (audio processing; track prep) - Initial cleaning and preparation of tracks.

Something isn't right in your mix, I think you forgot about the gains stage, after all you had to work so hard choosing the plugins. try to compare with other tracks shown here. Cheers.

The drums lack punch, and the guitars sound distant. It sounds way too soft, possibly Over-soothed. The balances are mostly okay but it feels more like the raw tracks (aside from the snare) than punchy mix.

. drums need cleaning up .kick sucking up headroom as to much 100 k and sub. kick needs to click through at about 5k .
guitar cut up to 120, then boost 400 too 500 k. and have then find their own space in the mix.
overheads need to be your guide on the drums and room track. this will give more depth to the mix.
All comments sent with encouragement , have fun ,keep keeping on .
