Hi berkaykorkmaz,

Good mix, nice ideas well executed. Here are my suggestions:

I believe the main thing dragging this mix down is some clutter around 300-500HZ, maybe. Also, I feel the kick is a little heavy on the lows for this type of song. The voice gets lost in the mix on the choruses. Addressing the clutter problem could help, but consider some automation as well. I would also remove some fat from the guitars (not the rhythm ones, but the arpeggiated) and give them a little more bite to be present in the mix without adding to that low-mid area clutter.
ITB Setup: Reaper, Airwindows, IK Multimedia TR5, XLN AD2 ATrigger and RC-20, Waves.
Monitoring: Dynaudio BM5 mkIII, Behritone, Sennheiser HD 650. Semi-treated room.
