I'm pretty much a newbie, been mixing my stuff for about a year and a half. Here is one of my tunes I have recently remixed to try and improve my mixing skills. This track has not been mastered yet so you may have to turn it up a bit. Any feedback to help improve my mix is much appreciated! Thank you.

Bass is a bit masked by the guitars when they're cranked.

Nice tune.

Thanks for the Feedback. I'm still learning how to give the Bass it's own space in the mix with eq, etc. Any tips on fixing the 'masking" problem?
 
It's a great song and arrangement.

The kick sounds a bit bouncy, but it's kind of quirky, so maybe don't worry about it.

There is a lot of guitar in this, and the massed choir of them pushes bass and kit back.

To get round this, try mixing just kit and bass together, and get them sounding tight and punchy.

Then add in the vocals. With luck the whole ting should sound workable with nothing but these three elements.

When these are working together, bring up guitars . . . but just enough to make their presence felt. Guitars are sonically very dense, and can easily overwhelm everything else.

I will definitely try this approach, thank you. I guess I need to work on the bass/bottom end more, still learning that.
 
Big fat sounding bass.
The guitar sound is to "scratchy" for my liking, most likely the mids.
Very good singer.
The playing all around sounded tight.

During the verses the instruments sounded like they weren't in the same room.
 
Nice song and good playing. Somehow it lacks a bit of energy - I think bringing the drums up would help. If it were me, I might also add a bit of extra percussion on the refrains (like 1/8th note tambourine starting at 0:34?) just to amp up the energy a little.
 
thank you so much for the tips and critique guys. I am working on improving this mix.
 
Good catchy song. Good voice. However, I have to be honest, that effect on the intro guitar sounds pretty cheesy to me. Reminds me of the 80's in a big way. It could be though that the guitar sound is thin and bright. I would either back off the delay and reverb or give it a little more grit. I agree with others in saying that bottom end is lacking a little, maybe bring the drums up. The vocals may need to come down a little too. Just my opinion.... Otherwise, great song.
