Hi Eric - thanks for mixing our track ! A few comments as I listen through
1. intro guitar vibe - nice - like the effect. I feel a bit of vocal masking though - perhaps some MS carve out of the guitar center to give more space to the vocal? Or reduce the guitar level a bit.
2. I like the vibe you are going for - when drums come in - could the snare attack be a bit fast? I seem to be wanting a bit more transient cutting through.
3. Nice overall balance
4. the cymbals feel quite bright next to the overall kit presentation - just an observation - the cymbals feel the most forward as a result - maybe contributes to my snare comment above
5. Cool bridge treatment !
6. Kick level in balance a bit low (?)
7. high end on lead vocal - is this cut back a bit? I think easing off on this will help the vocal cut through/showcase a bit more
8. like the bass guitar balance a lot
Thanks again for mixing our track and sharing ! I hope some of this is helpful.
Thomas

Hi Thomas!
Thank You for the advice. It helps a lot!
I made different stereo image for intro guitar, fast attack snare, cymbals and kicks balance, increased high end of vocal.
Please listen. Thank You!
