Hey everyone,
This one was a real challenge for me actually, I loved it.
Here's my first attempt at it. No mastering, just the mix.
Hope you enjoy it and please feel free to give me some feedback!
The lead guitars are not aligned. The files in the zip are off. This applies to guitar 3-10 (basically all the guitars besides the 2 main rhythms) and the scream vocals. The last 4 vocal tracks. The have to be advanced forward the same amount. Unfortunately, it's not an obvious amount. Essentially the first lead starts right on the downbeat with the rest of the band. It's easiest to align the chorus leads (gars 4/5) with the start of the chorus. Bar 31 I think.
The main thing that jumps out at me about your mix is the vocals. They're really nasal and bright. They're a pain in the ass, I know.
Hi
*Bass and kick are a big trouble on the low end.. you don't hear definition on either of them
*Snare is dry.. screams "i need reverb" big time.
But I'm not gonna give more details because that will just confuse you.
Instead I will give you a video that will help you with your balancing problems because the balance of your instruments need a lot of improvements before you go and fix stuff with eq and compression

Do look for more tips on balancing in youtube.. they are honestly the most essential thing you can learn about mixing.
