Hey, not too shabby!
So, I'd like to start off by saying I do NOT consider myself any sort of an expert on mixing / mastering / etc.
Pros -
+ I really like the echo you layered on the lead guitar in the intro.
+ I like where you placed the guitars in the mix for the verses.
+ The track volumes seem pretty well balanced (exception below).
Cons -
- The volume of the full mix seems quiet (when played side-by-side to Spotify)
- The bass guitar seems a bit loud (Though, that could also just be my headphones)
- Other than the echo in the intro, this mix seems ... dry. I don't feel like any individual part is focused / spotlighted.
I also think the reverb overall could be a bit more apparent, to give more of a sense of the room.
Again, all of this is another amateur's opinion. Good work!
[Selfish Plug] I'd like to hear your opinion on my version of this song (next post up). I think the bass guitar still cuts through a bit much on my version...
