Alright, let's check out Deep.
Sounds better than No Friend to me.
The drums sound too distant...too much reverb. The guitar seems to have less reverb on this one. Which is good for this music IMO. Now the snare should sound a little more in the same room, even if it's a big room. The way to achieve this should you decide to experiment, would be to cut some of that reverb back....bring it a little closer. The drums are very centered in the mix and the guitars are panned hard. Almost too much separation I think.
Guitar solo could come up some. Also, the leads at the end are mixed kinda weird to me. Maybe bring 'em right up, and a little off to the side but only like 25% R or L?
I like the vocals a lot better on this one too. Again, I don't think the reverb is working well here. I don't know if it's excessive settings, or if it needs a better quality reverb. But to my ears something about it is cheapening the well recorded sounds here.
I should also add that I've never recorded a drum in my life. So I don't feel confident about commenting on recording practices there. But I do think in the mix, they could be more up front.
The guitars sound very good, but they either should move closer to the center, or the drums should spread out.
All just my humble artistic opinions. Very nitpicky stuff, but you've got the makings of a great product here. So I'm gonna be nitpicky. So there.
Now go listen to some other clinic tunes and share your knowledge.
