Mix/master critique
I am trying to learn how to mix and master, following the many guides in this forum, and a few books and additional resources. I've just mixed and mastered 3 songs, and would like honest critiques. Not on the songs themselves, lyrics, compositions, etc. But strictly on how did I do as a mix engineer? All that said, I don't know if this is the proper forum to post this in. I didn't post in "Songs" because I am not looking for attaboys on the songs. Just honest critiques on the mix. Are all parts balanced? Did I achieve enough separation, etc.
If you have a couple minutes, and are able to provide feedback and critique, I thank you for your help. I know a lot of you are pretty good at this, and many are pros. I'm still learning...
I have uploaded the songs to Dropbox. Below are the names, followed by the long URL, followed by the short URL. They are in the order on which I would like critique. If you can get to all three, great, but if only one, then please critique "Forgotten Land".
Thank you very much!

Best option is to head on down to the songs forum in the 'Community' section. Dedicated area for mixing critiques
