Really nice production, I did some small EQ moves just to fit all the elements together.
I found some of the chorus guitars too harsh, so I did a bit of automation. Also I've chosen to use the amped guitars provided, thought it did fit the song better
Let me know what you think

- Adding more "click" to the kick
- Brightening the entire mix a bit
Cheers
Glad you liked it!!
As for the mix:
- LOVED the automation on the chorus. I mylself did also automate an EQ plugin for all guitars in all 3 choruses, taming that 3-5k region, but just a touch. In this mix it sounds like you turned down the Rhythm Gtr (witch is indeed a bit mot harsh, because it uses open chords), but maintained the Extra guitars. Gold move right there.
- Liked the "natural" vibe you went for. I do believe the drum sounds makes the mixer to try and go for that route.
- Missing a bit of click from the kick. maybe just crank that second kick sample (that is focused on the high end) from 3 to 6db
- Maybe tone down FX tracks (reverse cymbals, explosions etc)and a bit of that limiter
- Everything but the drums sounds a bit muffled, try EQ'ing that by removing a bit of 300-400Hrtz or boosting 5kHrtz and maybe a 8kHrtz high shelf.
- Final touch: try adding some parallel compression to the mix a bit more energy (may work in the whole mix or just drums)
Thanks for taking your time!!!!
Thanks a lot for the multi-tracks, and for the comprehensive feedback
Yes, you're right about the high frequencies, I got a little "scared" that the guitars and everything else would sound a bit harsh, so I kinda did a high cut with a Pultech EQ on the master bus, to tame those freqs.
Also, I'm a bit sensitive to these, so there's that too
For the kick, you're also right, my first attempt had a lot of kick click and I thought it can be distracting, so I've also tamed that. But this is a metal song, so you're vision makes more sense
I know for sure, the guitars have a mild boost around 360Hz, but I guess that was a bit too much
I'll sure review the mix
Cheers

I'm liking mix v1 R02. Sounding clean and punchy to me.
Cheers!
