Hard rock mix crit

[RokitProd]

Hey fellas

Would really appretiate your crit on this mix I did, balance, energy etc. For now it's without vocals. Soundcloud squashed it a little when converting to 128kbs, but it's almost as the original.

I'm hoping to become a good producer, and I need your advice

here's another I did for same band, this one includes vocals

 

[Pharaoh's Curse]

Sounds good to me, very pro sounding!

 

[RokitProd]

Thanks very much Pharao! Needed to hear that

 

[Habsburgs]

Sounds good but I think it is a bit too smash and the snare has zero transients. The guitars are podfarm right? What kind of processing did you do? They sound pretty smooth I like them, but maybe theyre a tiny bit too loud.

Thanks Habsburgs. Can you please explain what do you mean with no transients on the snare?
You are right, guitars are PodFarm There is PodFarm into a compressor, with a c4 compressor on groupbus only for lowend, then a series of different eq's to shape sound the way I wanted it. I have a dip at 500hz on the guitartracks to get away some boomyness (esp for bad speakers) then a sharp dip at around 4khz to remove a hiss, and more or less a high shelf at around 4khz. HP at 80 hz and LP around 12khz

I think he means there isn't a lot of stick attack on the snare.
