your mix is in my opinion pretty well balanced and I like it, also interesting usage of FX.
Some of my other thoughts:
I think you should go easier with limiter, there's some clipping goin on in some parts. (did you use a limiter?)
The vocals in verses could be more "in the face", they are kinda behind and thin - on the other hand, the choruses are very nice but the guitars are gone, somewhere..
The low end seems bit messy to me, but does its job. Maybe you could make more room for each "bass" element with eq or sidechain compression. But I'm also more of a "headphone" mixer and I'm not clearly sure about what should've been done better. (Maybe some more highpass filtering on individual tracks?)
The most important thing - I guess you've cut out lots of midrange, what could be also a half of a solution of mentioned problems. More midrange will give you more natural sound as well as perceived loudness, if you're after it.
Hope it helps,
have a nice day!
Thank you for your comments. I went back and did some more EQ work on the guitars. I had not done any work on them other than the SSL channel strip I was using on each track. I eq'd the bus signals for each GROUP of guitars and tried to tame the verb a bit after all the changes. My machine is running out of juice as ALL of those guitars are VST instruments and the suck up the processor.
Maybe this will fix a few of the issues and most likely add more :-)..
All Feedback is very appreciated!
