I like your mix, big improvement, much tighter and pleasant to listen to. The snare is quite nice but a bit too dominant; it shouldn't be louder than the e-guitar, imo. I think you can either pan the e-guitar closer to the middle, or make a duplicate and pan it to the opposite but lower level. That way the e-guitar is not too far on the side, losing its power. I also think the vocal needs a bit more FX . It seems the snare has more FX than the vocal; it makes the vocal drier than it really is. A bit of cut on the snare ~2kHz-3.5kHz should darken it a bit and allow the vocal to poke out and take the lead. I do a lot of cutting in this song, mostly LP, it takes some of the "live" feeling out but in return I got my mandolin to show. I am not too happy with my latest mix, but at my level right now, it'd take more than a couple mixes to get it right. Yep, it is a challenge to work on the mandolin, but that's all it is, just a challenge. I like challenges . Necessity breeds invention. So be creative. Cheers!
