Bought Mixbus for $40 tonight, and decided to see what I could do. This mix took about 2.5 hours, however, I mixed them on a pair of old Turtle Beach earforce x11's. Just having some fun. Thoughts?

Touched up some stuff. Think it's a little cleaner.

Listening on my bluetooth headphones, the bass needs to be controlled, a LOT, and I'm hitting my master comp way too hard at points. I'll use my monitors tomorrow. ;-)

It's fun mixing on headphones. I do it as well, took me a while to get used to it and I definitely still need to do a quick listen on the monitors every now and then and make sure it it translates but with a little practice you can get into the ballpark pretty well.
I didn't find the vocals being too loud in the bridge, they are easy on my ears throughout your mix. Drums are pretty dominant throughout. The balance throughout I tried to make a little better, I had a go and EQ'd your mastermix a bit. Down 80hz -3db, up 880hz +2db, high shelf 9k +2db . This made the mix less oomphy, the guitars come out better and it adds a bit of air to it.
I think that the 1st mix sounds better than the second one. The second one is pumping too much compresion. Make your 3rd mix like the 1st one , with more reverb and a touch of delay on main vocal and then it would start to sound like a record.
At 1:23, there is an electric guitar strum that sounds like a mistake. When I worked with this one, I automated it out. Do you think it belongs in the mix? It is panned hard right.
