I didn't want to resurrect a necrothread, so I figured I'd post this here. I'm mixing the Fuge song "Diode" that was posted a while ago. I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut with my mixes. I get them sounding "good," but I can't seem to make the next step to get them sounding "great"

When I was more of a n00b I didn't really notice, but now after being on here for a few years and listening to you guys' awesome mixes I definitely do.

Anyways, would anyone mind taking a listen to give me some advice? Am I EQing badly? Compressing incorrectly? Idk something else?

Thanks, tis much appreciated.

I made some improvements... I think.

Any input would be appreciated.

i think probably raising the volume of the kick a little and the overheads might make it sound a little more full, although that might be a matter of personal taste. NICE tunes, by the way.

+1 on the kick.
I do believe that the overheads are fine however.

Nice guitar tone too!

Edit: @d00d00, they are not his tunes.
