Sounds like a nice well balanced mix. The snare sounds a little 'muffled?' sounding maybe. I'd like to hear the vocals with a little more high end on them to bring them forward a little. Overall nice mix !

Thanks for the feedback Sano !
I'm happy you found the mix nice and well balanced
About the snare, perhaps it is a tiny muffled, but when I tried brightening it up I found it started loosing it's thickness (thickness that I felt right for this song), also I found the leakage was getting louder as I brightened it up making the drum kit thinner. I think what I could try to do is perhaps sample that snare and use the triggered sample to brighten up the snare a bit without loosing it's thickness.
Vocal wise I could try and see how far I could add high end before the mix start loosing its balance, so far I kind of like the way they sit but yes, some high end might do the trick.
Finally I'm thinking perhaps the whole mix could take a touch of opening up but not by much as again I think it not being so bright and open does fit the mood it creates better

I agree with you 100%!
