1) Dynamics: Impact & Punch
2) Spectrum: Balance, Clarity & Warmth
3) Image: Colour & Stage
4) Loudness
This seems fairly well balanced, but lacks impact. It occurs to me that (4) without (1) is useless. I've turned down the track volume to match what I want to hear, and now it lacks both.
Now this is an interesting comment

1st of all thanks for ur comment...Yeah...maybe i sacrificed impact for clarity...I also, match my tracks to the others to compare, as that's the only fair way, the loudness is relative, it's just a final step to match the level to commercial tracks. Anyway...yeah, probably the drums could be punchier, the guitars a bit more exiciting on the end...I tamed down a bit the whole mix in from 5-6Khz so it wont be too bright....Dunno, what do you think that could make it have more impact??
