New Song, first mix... I Don't Mind If You Stay a Little Longer

You know how it is on a first mix... too close the project and it's easy to lose perspective. Any and all thoughts are welcome.
 
Enjoy :)

    Very good for a first mix. Nice song.
     
    The bass is a bit to loud and hiding the bass drum. It's hard to tell about the guitars because of the bass but I suspect their fine. Nice vox!

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Thanks, yeah it's always the bottom end I have trouble with. I believe you :)

    yeah, I can't hear the kick for the bass.  I like the panned guitars.  drums overall need some more work.  help them to cut through the mix.  give that snare some snap.
     
    good work so far

    As noted the bass is dominating the bottom end, perhaps a little surgical EQ in the bass to give the kick some space, it also helps to add a little emphasis in the slap part of the kick just to give some definition.  Having said all the song has potential just need to do a little tweaking with fresh ears.  Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the comments and input... soon as my ears get a rest from the weekend gigs I'll give it another go and take it up a notch ( or is that down regarding the bass )....

    I agree that getting the bass reigned in would be first stop.   But I think some of the vocal lines here and there might be a bit rushed, particularly in the first half.  Then again, there are a lot of lyrics to fit in some spots.  
     
    Good song!

    I think you're right Steve, but I have to admit I was at first happy I got them words in with any intelligibility lol.
     
    I got sidetracked with some paid sessions (yay) so this one is on hold for just a bit.
