Latest version of Pop-Rock original: Afterwords. Your feedback is awesome!

[Dicus]

Hey guys,

Here is the latest version in which I tried to use all your feedback. Especially the drums did improve much, parallel compression worked incredibly well, also on the bass which got much tighter.
I also compressed the vocals some more and did a little autotune/manial tuning to it. The compression improved the vocals a lot, making them still punchier and more up front. But I had to de-es them afterwords because the -s and -f's got really annoying, anyway to compress the vocals without making s's more prominent?

Some more feedback would be again very much appreciated. I would really like to get better at this!

(I also posted it in the original post but I guess that one is a bit to burried away to get any feedback)

Soundcloud is telling me it can't find the track. And I'm signed in.

Listening on headphones, vocals could be notched up overall (not much, just some nudging). Overall on HPs, the mix sounds good.

I like the level of the bass. I'm not crazy about the ambiance on the drums, causes them to recede into the background a bit. Good song, playing, and singing.

I'll notch up the vocals.

@Robus yeah, parallel compression improved the clearness of the bass big time, so I could get it nice in the mix.
What would you change about the ambiance on the drums? I gave the drums the same reverb the rest of the mix has, only a bit more of it (using a buss). And I gave the snare a bit more reverb I thought that would be nice. Would you change the overall ambiance of the drums or only that of the snare.

It is possible that the overheads have some room-ambiance that stacks with the reverb, maybe that causes it to recede.

All feedback is appreciated, I change stuff every day I listen to it again but it is hard to keep hearing new stuff, you all listen to it fresh.
