Woodfire: 'Get Fooled' - Stereo Sonic - 01-01-2018
Here's my mix

You have over compressed it. Drums are chocked with 0 dynamics. Guitar is too loud and masks other instruments and vocal.

I made a new mix gated the drums and less mastering limiter

Vocal is too loud now and feels like recorder inside the tube or other hard to identify environment. My suggestion for you is to get rid of all the plugins you have inserted on tracks and master buss and try again from scratch. Be more gentle and subtle with your decisions. Watch out for 2-5 kHz range because majority of your problems are around that spectrum. And don't use limiter on master buss for more than 1-3 dB of gain reduction. The more you limit the more dynamics you lose. If don't feel confident about overal frequency and musical balance of your mix forget about limiting it. Limiter will only make your problems more visible and audibly, and in that case loundess is not worth it.
