Exceptionally well crafted and performed. Sounds 'Awesome'
You most certainly nailed it (drums), whilst the bass cuts through nicely. Commend you for that, considering the guitars and keys also sits well in the mix. Lots going on but that's cool, you still managed to accomplish a great mix. Not an easy feat!
 
The vocals only need come up a little bit, no harm since that space is center-focused 'Lead' (in their own spatial sound-scape), and since both voices (male and female) are different enough to stand on their own.  Where harmony vocals occur imo should be panned slightly to moderately L/R, but the interplay of 'Female Lead Vocal' are perfectly positioned as is.  A subtle touch of EQ-cut will make your lead vocals clearer and balanced in perspective with the female lead vocals.  Anyway, just minor nuances (mix), therefore you make the final decision. Wish you all great success!

Yes thank you all.  I think you will all see that most of these things have been addressed in the new mastered version.  Waiting back for a new tweak and I will post the results!  I really appreciate your input and time in listening! I have been listening.

Thanks.
Well, I LOVE THE DRUMS.  And as long as I'm happy, that's really all that matters, at the end of the day. ;)  I'm grooving plenty.
 
 


   Very true!
 
Best of luck with your production!
 
cheers,

Hahah, thanks Tom.  I have to be careful though, because it makes me drive faster. Cops around here are bad with speeding tickets - so that's my biggest danger.

Close, just a few tweaks as hinted at above should put its final gloss on this.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Cool song.
The start of the lead guitar could come up a little, and maybe the drums are still a little to loud IMHO.
But it's minor issues. Great work

Thank you for the listen Roger.  This song is finished, signed sealed and delivered.  No more mixing involved.  It is done.
 
Thank you!

Only listened to the final version, but overall it sounds pretty good.  I would have probably bumped up the vocals just a wee bit, but that's subjective.   I would also have brought up the entire guitar solo - there are some really cool lines being played, but it seems to sit somewhat behind the band.   Eh, cool song either way!   The main sections are arranged and mixed nicely and have some good punch.
