I was listening to your mix on my headphones in the office so I can't make ultraprecise comments. It´s a real life check so to say and I´m just a regular guy like you so take all my comments with a grain of salt.
the reverb on the drums is too much for me. sounds like the drummer was playing in another room while the band was rehearsing. the overall amount of reverb is waaaayyyyy too much. the solo part is a big pile of frequency chaos with a reverb tail that builds up like godzilla jumping out of the ocean.
One of the things I have learned the hard way: stay away from reverb unless you really have a clue how to deal with it. check Mikes book (http://www.cambridge-mt.com/MixingSecrets.htm) if you need help with reverb. another VERY good read is Ermins Systematic Mixing Guide http://www.systematicproductions.com/mixing-guide.htm - especially if you want to mix heavier stuff like Burning Bridges. Btw: Did you read the FAQ I wrote about this song? http://discussion.cambridge-mt.com/showt...p?tid=5761
What was your reference track? If I compare your track with the original mix on my headphones its obvious that your mix has way to much low end/low mids.
so yeah, too much reverb, to much low end, not enough separation.
