I am listening your mix through my 4$ earbuds at the office... and it sounds great. So if it is like this here, at home it must sound terrific!

I like this song a lot, so I'll keep it in mind for a future mix :-)

Thanks. I updated this song with some effort at minimizing the bass guitar fret squeaking and adding some more automation.

Nice and smooth mix.I agree with you for automation and the bass.I will like some more beef on the snare and get rid some of the boxiness it have. Vocals i feel they need some presence and some deessing.

Yes that snare is lacking in meat and is a bit low in the mix

Hi
The snare is sounding better !
Good work

Playing with eq or multiband comp on the kick somewhere above 100 hz which should help clean up the kick and sound more deeper and punchier.
The bass could come down a touch !
Have a play around with the vocal eq below 200hz

I really couldn't disagree more. The bass seems hardly audible to me - especially compared to the kick.

Anyway, I like the vocal textures you've created here. Did you work on their timing? I really weeded that out when I mixed this song but did not listen specifically for it now. Anyway, you should probably take a carefull look at building up sibiliances in this department.

Cheers
