What's up everyone?

This is my newest song here (featuring Change 'Change of POETS' known on here, along with my girl. They helped me out on the hook). I would like some opinions on the mix such as are the vocals too loud, too thin, too this too that etc... or is there anything else I can do to make it sound better that someone might notice? I'm happy with the overall quality but I'm sure it could be better.

What I did so far:
KSM27 ->
VTB-1 Pre (close to solid state settings) ->
Pro VLA (about 2.5:1 with a -10 Thres.) ->
Waves Q10 (high pass @ 80hz and about -1db from 178hz) ->
Waves RenVox (compression set at around 4-5 i think) ->
Waves RVerb (just reverb) ->

Mixed Down peaking around -2db
Compressed again with Rcomp (2:1, Thres. -4.5, attack 3.8 ms, ARC, 2db make up gain)
Limited -0.2db ceiling

If anyone has any tips please share, and all feedback is appreciated. Here's the link:


Thanks in Advance!
 
Nice song and lyrics man! I'm no mixing expert or anything so my advice may not be valid. Only thing i hear is maybe turn the vocals up a little on the verses. Well, i just listened to it with my headphones so lemme check it with the monitors. One minute please............................. Yea. Jack them vocals up a little on the verses. Again, great song!
 
Thanks for your feedback Tone, man I have a habbit of mixing vocals too loud so that's probably why they seem low by me trying not to mix them too loud... I'll definitely take a second listen. Anyone else second this? Or have any other suggestions?
 
I bumped the lead vocals up 1.2 db, I'll post the updated song up in a bit.
 
turn the beat down just a lil bit. It works better than turning the vocals up. sounds good though. Leave it alone.
 
Hey the joint is pretty good on the mix. You could turn up the vox but hell that's just being nick picky.
 
Thanks! I did end up bumping the vocals up a little especially after hearing in in the car compared to the rest of my stuff.
