Lead vocal is too far out front. Also sounds too dry. (Adding reverb/delay will also help it blend better.)
Bass guitar is there but lacks definition.
Mix feels pretty narrow. Sounds like everything is center panned and then there's a stereo reverb its being fed through. When I sum to mono, there is very little change. I'd take the two backing guitar parts and hard pan them left and right for a start. Then as suggested in the other thread, pan your drums to sounds as a real kit would. Take your cues from the overhead mics on where to place things.
Also, there were backing vocals in the recording. I didn't hear them here. That can be a valid choice to drop them but you risk making the mix less interesting.
So there you go. Take it from there and add refinements.
Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah I haven't used the backing vocals at all since I did not like the way that they sound all together. As for the solo guitar I had left it with a question mark since I thought that it might be too loud. Now I know that it is since you confirmed it as well
