My take feedback is appreciated and given back
Pretty good in general! The kick drum sounds a bit boomy (all low-end with no high freq attack), but I'm not sure if it can be fixed without samples
Also I would add more high-end to toms and emphasize the vocals in the choruses
I agree, I wish the kick had more attack (which I think could be done without samples). Also if the bass had more definition. The guitars are bit brittle. I think they could be tamed a bit and come back a little. It seems the tendency is to crank the guitars and I think that makes the mix a little fatiguing overall and takes away from the dynamics of the song. I think it causes a listener to turn the mix down. If the guitars were a little softer one could crank the mix and still get the sense of volume.
