Also I compared the frequency spectrum with other mixes from here, and found that the biggest difference
is the excess of 250-800Hz range, so I turned down with a few db there in version r3.
It is still more than the average, but a little bit closer.

That's the spirit. Sometime you got to take a rest, listen again to what you've done and hear what feels wrong.

I don't think that there is an excess of the frequency ranges you mention, it seems that the guitars have lost some power in your last mix. BTW, what vst did you use to analyze the frequency spectrum of other mixes ?

One thing you can look at, is the frequency balance between L and R guitars. To me it seems that guitar on the right have more high frequencies tone than the left one, and I think it could be nice to apply some L/R EQ on them, just to blend a little bit more the whole tone of the guitars.
I assume that you have treated L and R guitar separately, right ?

Another thing you could look at is to mess with reverb on other tracks, just to add a touch of depth in your mix.

Thank you for the suggestions! Unfortunately in the next few days I can not work on the new version, but after it I will return. Smile
But in the meantime I will answer the questions:
You are right, I treated the L/R guitars separately. I will check the frequency balance.
For checking I use the built in 'Spectral Analysis' tool in my DAW, which is Harrison Mixbus32C (V6). This is great for imported whole tracks to show the 'average'.
To see the momentary values I use one of the 'Spectrum Analyzer x' plugin from the 'Linux Studio Plugins Project', depending on how many channels I would like to see at the same time.

Messing with reverb will be hard for me... Smile Unfortunately I can not feel when reverb is too little or too much. But I will try... Smile
