I just kinda almost got done with my mix on this song, so I took a listen to yours. Very nice. I like the smack of the snare but would like to hear a hair more of the top end (3-4Khz). I also think you can still HP a bit more on the guitars/synths. They seem to make the whole mix a little dark (200Hz-500Hz). That, I think, will give the guitars more bite and perhaps your mix will get even wider and louder (master) if you take care of that. I like the thump of the kick but would like to hear more beater to help the kick cut thru easier. Some of the vocals can use a bit more balancing.
In my experience, when I faced the guitar with a lot of lo end and I didn't want to HP/cut anymore (bc anymore would make the guitars wimpy), I used a gate. I am not sure all gates have it but mine has side chain filter (pro tools 11 stock gate). And all I did was lo filtering the guitars around 100Hz-250Hz depending on the sounds I sought so that anything below that would not trigger the gate. The same with top end. If I thought the guitars had too much of that screeching top, a little filtering (sometimes not too little) could shave off some of that w/o touching the EQ. For example, in this song, I gate filter the guitars lo ( up to 447Hz) and hi (down to 1.7kHz) with a huge lo Q cut (4dBs) (170Hz-500Hz) on EQ. Once I cleared that out, it seemed much easier to work with the synths. Thought I share that with you just in case. Hope it helps. Cheers!
