That's a pre-master mix. Nothing on the master bus, not even a limiter.

Overall, what levels could be changed to make the mix sound better?

I'm always curious how the levels sound in someone else's point of view.

more snare
maybe more toms
add some snare
maybe a little kick
some more snare

make sure the snare is louder than needed, it will die during mastering, try some transient enchancer on it.

I'm always SOOO iffy about my snare levels pre-master.
But yes, I see what you mean about the dying during master.

Ill mess around with it, thank you!

Any other advice?
