I find the low strings quite disturbing, cause we hear too much the scraping of the bow. The electric guitars and drums are too thin to my taste. I would have prefer a bigger "produced" sound for them.
I agree with the strings and the electric and drums, and I also feel like your acoustic is covered in a low mid blanket. Your vox do sound really nice. Try bringing the orchestration down, and re-balance and attack the guitars, and you'll a good bit of the way there.
Your overheads are so high passed that it almost just sounds like white noise.
Good start, but i think there are some things to slog through. Keep it up!
I agree with others. Balances feel fine, but still the sound doesn’t open properly. Maybe your monitors are too bright? That could explain why you adding quite much saturation or something to instruments. So I would like to hear more definition to overall sound.

Hi Olli, thanks! Like I mentioned to Draper: the acoustic in the present "mixing room" (my office in my own company hahaha) is terrible.
Get what you mean, hear it too for sure and I definitely will remix as soon my new mixing room is ready.
The room was nightmare. Huge dip around 80 Hz. Difference between 85-110 Hz was over 30 dB. My headphone mixes and monitor mixes sounded totally different.
But with long DIY acoustic treatment studies and 500 € buget I manged to make my room quite decent. Now it quite nicely fulfills these standards http://www.acousticfrontiers.com/wp-cont...ndards.pdf. I’ve measured it with free REW (http://www.roomeqwizard.com/). So if you’re working with your room, check also that program.

Olli, ok thats an interesting link, thanks. I have an unused cooler trailer which I think is very usable to transform into a new room, I will do some design on it and will later post this.
cheers,
