Overall the mix sounds great. I love the way the drums sound...big and trashy but with good dynamics and definition. The bass is also sitting well in the mix.
The vocals sound a bit...flat? to me? I think this style of music is maybe demanding a bit more "edge" to them and a bit more wetness with reverb and delay. I was having a lot of trouble getting them to sound right as well...I kept getting them to sound more R&B then pop-punk :/
Overall, really great mix!
Thanks man! is always good to get feedback from different ears.
I could play with different reverb settings.. the reason I didn't use that much was because it would get the vocals a bit foggy in pronounciation. I used 3 types of verbs on vocals.
A really short and subtle one on the track to change the texture a bit.
Another short one to enhance it and make it seat better in the mix (it felt too upfront without verb)
and the third one long and subtle as well to spread it up in ambiance.
I could go back and make one of the last 2 more wet.. and see if how it sounds .. at that moment the way it is right now sounded perfect for me but now that you mention it does sound a bit dry.
I think honestly just a bit more compression might do wonders...also play around with some delay on top of the verb (or instead!).
I just posted a mix--would love your feedback
