Thanks Olli H for your advice and taking time to listen. I will take it into consideration if I re visit this mix again. Like I said, I just only spend an hour or 1 hour and 30 minute on this mix. I never even used deesser on vocal. I just wanted to put my emotion over this song rather than going detail about it. However, I do agree about you comment and I highly appreciate that.
About the Snare, If you compress it pretty good, you can hear the original snare character which has the same vibe with the one that I did so I took it as a starting point and have put medium Hall Reverb. I used The harrison Gverb so and so hall preset and I tweaked it for my liking. the parallel compression that I used on kick and snare together gave the snare that big feeling. Thats all. Thanks once again Olli H.

Nice for a quick mix. Good to get your emotion dialled in quickly and I enjoyed listening to it but I guess its the finer details that elevate a rough mix to something more.
The vox gets overwhelmed from time to time and feels down in the mix. The sax seems to be playing in a different room during the solo compared to the rest of the band. No problems with the snare FX but when combined with vox and/or sax solo its like you have three different ambience types happening in same space.
So I guess your FX and levels need fine tuning if you want your overall illusion to be believable - its a little bit disjointed at the moment but nothing a rebalancing session wouldn't fix.
Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
