Hi there,
nice song. Had fun mixing this. Comments and critique are welcome
Update - Jan 30th
I implemented all points of critique: low-mids and bass of the guitars and vocals, brightness of the vocals, snare volume and organ volume (-2dB in the first chorus, -1dB after).
Because someone did a mastering of my already mastered MP3, I uploaded my non-mastered mix as 24bit PCM. This is easygoing for me, because I mix and master separately in general.
Really nice balance. I really like the snare sound you achieved.
Vocal sounds a bit bright to me, but that's it. Overall sounded great on the monitors.
Great mixing
Cheers

Hi K,
thanks for your feedback.
I supported the rimclick and snare with samples, recorded by myself (my own drums, freefield with a small condenser).
The vocal suffered from the proximity effect (distance to the mic was way too short here, I think). I compensated that with EQing, possibly I missed the mark a bit.

Vocal level and timbre sounds good to me.
Thank you.

I register this definitely and I can follow your opinion. The guitars are a little bit thin (but not annoying) because they play simultaneously to the vocal, which needs room in the lower mids (for my taste). So I cutted there on the guitars for the vocals. My goal was to create a mix with clear priority on the lead vocals, but with good balances and present instruments, though.
It feels pretty good. I'd just agree with some of the other comments about the vocal and guitar being a little thin. The organ is seems loud, especially in the first chorus. I like the sound of the snare but it might be too loud. Or maybe the vocal just has to be a little bigger and louder against it. Other than that that's all I noticed. Good job.
