Hello and welcome to the mixing world! ![Big Grin Big Grin](https://discussion.cambridge-mt.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
My notes are the following.
01. The instruments are not very distinguishable from one another. You can re-balance (some tracks like the electric guitar are too quiet) and you can play with the EQs like in your kick and bass to separate them more.
02. I would also increase the reverb a bit, because it seems to me that the mix is lacking that "glue".
03. Overall I would brighten a bit with a master bus EQ and also limit the track to a higher volume. I'm guessing your drum and snare are really showing in your mixdown waveform so limiting will help with that a bit. If you feel you are over-compressing, look for areas in your spectrum that have really high energy (usually the low end) and reduce that a bit to allow the compressor to compress more uniformly and increase your volume more without over-compressing!
As always, take my comments with a grain of salt because I am an amateur, too!
Hope I helped! Cheers!
