Thanks for the listen.
*Came back and worked on the bass a bit more, quite a beast to tame. The snare was a little loud so pulled it down.
I just got a pair of Yamaha HS8, yep, finally. Anyway, they are kinda new to me and I wonder if it helps my mix. I know I can hear the bottom end better compared to my Creative PC speakers' whopping 2" "bass" speakers, the Yamaha's is 8"
. I tried my mix in the car and it sounds nice on the bottom end, and it seems the mix hold up well enough. But a sampling size of 1 is unreliable to make a meaningful assessment. So if you have time and interested in helping a fellow out, here's what I want to know:
1. How is the frequency balance (bass? mid? top?)
2. How are the instruments' definitions? (does the guitar sound like a guitar but not a...mandolin?)
3. How is the separation? (can you hear ... everything?)
4. How is the volume balance (is anything too loud, too soft)
These info will help me a great deal in figuring out a way to better my skills and to get to know my gears. I appreciate your effort. Thank you in advance.

Worked on the bass a bit more, tightened the timing in the break and the outro. Worked on hi hats and ride, were kinda rashy. Added more delay on the guitars. The new monitors seem to help my hearing, especially on the low end, the rumbling, the mud, etc...
