Hey guys,
I`m an amateur and tried my best at this mix. I`d love to get some opinions and critics.
Mixed with ableton and beyerdynamic dt770 pro headphones.

Hi Paul

Good mix man!!! BUT... Seems that you've squeezed the life out of everything except the vocals.
Don't get me wrong though, the balance of the mix is pretty good.
Just think it's a bad case of over compression.

Please return the favor and give my mix a listen.

Thanks
Gerrit

Hi,
yes i agree. While and after mixing I thought it sounded not bad, but when I compare it to other mixes it seems a bit lifeless, overall less naturally and open. Now I know that I have to practice compression, especially of guitars.
Thanks
Paul

Hi, Paul! I think you did a great job! you got the song sound clear and especially the main instrument which is the lead vocals! about the rest of instruments, just needs some more time and you'll get it completely right! :-)
