-Way too loud. Aim for -14 LUFS or below. I had to immediately turn it down to halfway on the website. XD
-Synth was a bit over the top with the guitars.
-Drums are a bit muddy. No high end from the overheads.
-Watch your reverb bus on the drums. Good to add some reverb on the room mics, but not so much that it sounds like he is playing in a tunnel. XD
-Orchestra was a bit too over the top as well. It buried everything in the mix.
-Solo guitar has no bite. Add some high and high mids.
-Whole song was really muddy sounding. Lots of mids and low mids, with no highs to balance the mix out.
-Very center-centric.
One suggestion is to mix with a reference track. It helps with mixing and gives you an idea on how a song translates to different sound devices. On this song, I referenced a pop song (can't remember which one though...) and the aim is to follow the clarity of the song. It helps a ton when you mix with a reference song! With this one, if you were to bring this track to master it, I would have to gain stage it almost immediately, and do a lot of tweaking so it will be ready for streaming sites and such.
It's a good start, but it does need some work. Keep at it, though!
