I used all recorded trks except DIs
The vocals are cool but difficult to automate, I did my best.
Look at mix two
and....
Mix Three: I used Ozone7 dynamics multiband compression on overheads to tame the cymbals. I made each band 50% wet/dry
UPDATE:
I originally mixed this song a year ago and wanted to check my progress. This is the 2017 version. I mixed this one in four hr.s as opposed to the 6 hrs. back in 2016.
The overall EQ is very focused on the mids. So vocals are totally buried in the mix. Did you use some reference tracks ?
I did not. I hear the vocals very clearly during the versus, but now that you pointed out the mid issue, I hear that they are cloudly in the chorus parts.
I think totally buried is overstated, if you meant it to be taken literally.

Here are my observations.
*kick is missing in most of the song. Needs more definition.
*overall guitar sound has a nice tone. They are not harsh but I not too muddy.
*I agree the voice needs automation to make sure it stays above the mix.. Or perhaps a brighter eq would help.

Not a bad mix, keep it up.
I felt the triplet on the kick when emphasized didn't feel right to me so I buried it, but at a huge cost of impact throughout the song. But you are right.
You really should use reference tracks to mix. It will give you a lot of information to balance you mix (pan, EQ, comp, volumes). The most difficult part is to decide which one(s) to choose :p

Exactly! I dont know which to choose for this song. Any suggestions?
