Hey Nickolas,
solid first mix, nice balance and dynamics.
Cymbals are a bit harsh, and there is too much going on in the low-mids (200-500Hz). I also think you could use a bit more ambience.
Cheers,
Lukas

Thanks for your feedback. I agree, the mix sounds good, but not perfect. I think the reason is the quality of monitoring is not good enough. In what conditions do you make mixes?
As for the ambience, it is a matter of taste of each person. I created an imitation of the drum room microphone, as it was not in the multitrack, and thats it))

I use cheap (30€) Superlux HD681B Headphones, with a manually adjusted EQ curve to have a more balanced sound. When mixing, I use speaker emulation TB_Isone.

Hello. It's a very nice mix.
*there are some snare frequencies that I would kill but that's just me. I don't like any bad ringing there.
*balance on instruments are good. Nothing too loud or too quiet.
*there is a lot of space in the stereo field. I think if you were to hard pan left or right your mix will clean up like you have no idea. That's the only thing I can find that would make your mix better. You should try it.
Here is mine. Feel free to leave a comment.
