Monitors is just bookshelf speakers Microlab Solo-2. Vented box. In general this speakers quite good. Although you can make a mistake in the low bass using them. You wrote in your thread that the vocal turned like in a bathroom. If you look at the project again, you will see there are 2 files with vocals: leadvoc and leadvocDT. I used only one. Because when the two are used at once it turns out, this effect.
Is it possible to mix again with one vocal track off?
Bathroom effect is due to high frequency content in reverb, I actually like the slightly metallic sound in a busy mix like this, it helps vocals to stand out a bit. I used two of them so I can pan them 70% on each side, I think it benefits this type of song. It's rather trivial to use Audacity for mixing purposes but at least it has fairly good built in spectrum analyser, which is the main tool in mixing to look for overlapping frequencies.
Microlab Solo-2 would be absolute minimum for hobby amateur recording/mixing purposes. With good sealed enclosure subwoofer it would be easier to control the low end, only thing is it must be properly tuned with spectrum analyser like PAA3 which has properly calibrated measurement mic or use some room calibration software, but again everthing will depend on good measurment microphone, another thing is checking low frequency content with DAW spectrum analyser to make sure it doesn't exceed normal levels, otherwise it will eat away your headroom.
