I feel like I was overly harsh 2 hours ago prior to my two coffees. I think my point was, however much you're focused on the technical aspects of a mix (as we all can be on this site) keep in mind the aesthetics. Always think about the listener. A 'bad' mix that someone wants to crank on their bluetooth speaker while doing some chore is better than any technical mix.
I've failed this mix as much or more so than anyone but it's a good platform for working on a base rhythm section mix while also providing bits and riffs to speak emotionally to the listener.
I only harp on this because sometimes we are so focused on mixing for mixers as opposed to mixing for people.
Also, I still hate that noise on the OH track at about 13 seconds or so in at a little above 10khz. It's not so bad in this mix though compared to others.
