thx for mixing our song. The guitars sound kinda strange/boxy compared with the original mix, and the snare has also a weird boxy reverb that is kinda distracting - which is also true for the boxy vocal reverb, especially in the chorus.
After reading your comments I think your biggest problem is your monitoring situation, and I´m afraid that there is nothing that you can do other than to buy proper monitors or at least highend headphones and use them together with sonarworks reference. I think that this move would instantly reveal you all the problems of your mix and will help you a lot to get better mixes in the future.
Just out of curiosity: Did you use the mastered version as a reference and read my FAQ before mixing this song?
Hope that helps - have a great day and keep up the good work

Hi Blitzzz!
I see, yes listening back the guitars is a bit dull and low in volume. The reason for the distracting reverb tail must have come from me totally oblivirated the snare with devil loc hahah...
Actually no i did not read it forehand, i will apply this advice for the next song thankyou too and have a great day, i hope i improve as a mixer!
