Hi!!!!

I`m new on this forum,and I`m very concerned about your opinion for my mix.

Thanks

Best regards

This is another mix where the hat and ride are right upfront, way ahead of the guitars, and rivalling the lead vocal. This sounds a bit odd to me, especially as all the cymbals on this multitrack seem to have been captured with a rather grainy and clangy sound. I'd suggest trying to smooth out the tone with some EQ cuts, clearing more space for the vocal and guitar transmission, and pushing the kit a little behind the rest of the group.

You've chosen a bit of a dodgy-sounding reverb patch, I think -- it sounds like a cheap artificial reverb even though it's not levelled very high in the mix, and unjustifiably lends your reasonable balance an unwanted whiff of 'demo'. I'd go for something that sounds more like a room, and be careful with the high end, which is what often gives away artificial reverbs as fake.
