Trying to mix, let me know how I did. FYI this is the "edited" version.

Nice punchy kick sound on the big speakers, and seems to translate pretty well on the small system too. Overall the balance is respectable too, I'd say, with a nice sense of 'band in a room' blend -- I can hear everything perfectly well, despite the overtly 'garagey' sound (which is all to the good). I do wonder, though, whether you might have scooped out the mids a bit too far here. Some more 700Hz-1.5kHz on the guitars in particular might help them sound a little less spongey, and the vocals might also benefit too. Could the snare have a bit more low-mid weight? It sounds quite aggressively high-passed to me, and although this feel necessary from a technical standpoint, it might be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Hi there, I'd love to hear your mix in the full version with guitar solo and all. As Mike Senior pointed out I really the like the cohesive all in one room sound, theres a nice bit of space around the mix and the overall balances are really pleasing to the ear as well. Nice job!
