Thanks for mixing our song - I liked the overall balance of the elements throughout. I will write down a few observations below as I listen through.
- nice balance of vocals and guitar in the start
- vocal treatment overall sounds great - most important element, so time well spent
- kick track needs time aligned. Without it, it sounds like a ghost hit - most evident when the drums start
- drum balance sounds good, but favours the overheads. There are periods where the cymbals are taking center stage as a result. These mics were less OH and more cymbal mics in actuality, so the high end of them needs some kind of treatment. Some additional kick and snare level I think would help too, especially on the back beat in the chorus where the snare can shine.
- more 200Hz in guitars? Missing some weight there.
- middle lead guitar part - this is where I hear the cymbals a lot. The lead guitar feels behind the rhythm as well to me here.
- like the middle section - sounds good
- not hearing the bass fills as much as I'd like - could be eq, or you could do a parallel distortion track and automate up the fills or other technique
- outro sounds good to me !
Thanks again for mixing the track - I do like your overall mix vision in general. I hope some of these observations are helpful to you !

I'm very pleased that you took the time and listened to my mix. Also very grateful for the comments.
I added a second mix with the changes.
I look forward to hearing new tracks from you!
