Hi Franz, thanks again for listening 
I think the noises come from the solo guitar that could use some cleanup. Interesting how those things do not appear to (my) the ear in the first versions.
Indeed V5 was not an improvement and returned back to V4!
I definitely agree that mix2 or 3 is often the best.. As a mixer we should be able to go to the helicopter mode (move quickly/apply broad strokes for the most important feel of the song) and go to detail mode in which we search for noises, breaths, harsh frequencies, apply some automation etc. I think the first mode is by far the most important one and somehow we should force ourselves not to spend more than 1 hour in mode 2
Cheers!
