First try on this song. Comments welcome. Thanks.

This is a decent mix. I think the vocals are processed all right. The verse guitar effect is okay, but it can sound a bit congested at times with resonances and the stereo effect. I would back it off a little bit. The drums are too weak. Maybe your kick and snare compression could be a bit more punchy, and it sounds like it could use some bus compression. The chorus guitar could also be a bit louder. Bass sounds all right to me.

*Thanks, man, for leaving a comment. I'll try another mix and see if I can improve all that mentioned. I run into all kinds of problems, so I try to correct them first, and, yeah, I am not going anywhere until it's fixed . Right now I am working on another song from them (trapped). I like that song better, so...yeah, and I am not any better shape with that song either. I just can't seem to get the mix wide enough. I used "stereo width" (stock from pro tools), but when folded to mono, it falls apart. Right now still no idea. Help if you can. Thanks.

It sounds a little better now. With some mastering it would probably be fine. Missing a little high end in the drums, but they do come through a bit better. I’d avoid using stereo widening plugins if you can, as regular panning sounds more natural.

Yeah, man. I gave up on the stereo thing and followed your advice. This type of music don't mind being around the center I think. I just begin to hear "stuffs" so there are many things to work out. Just too damn many things to remember. well, we live and we learn, right? Thanks for the listens, man. I appreciate it.
