Mixing tips please!

I have been working on mixing for a few years now. I have composed this short song using Superior Drummer 2.0 (layering with some samples), TSE X40, and some layered IRs. I think this is my best mix to date. Tell me what you think and give some tips if you could.

Guitar needs more bite, imo, but then again I love huge amounts of bite >

For more bite i generally add a very slight boost around 8-10khz, and a bit at 1.5khz for a more "in your face" effect, but that's just my personal taste, although it might help the guitar stick out a bit more in the first section

Also a bit more grind on the bass, but again, that's just my opinion and preferences for tones

Thanks a lot man! How much of a boost though are we talking?

I increased 3db at 9khz and 1.5khz. Sound any better to you?

Maybe pull back on the 9khz boost by a db or so, the discord stabs are starting to get slightly harsh, but definitely better for my ears anyway

maybe just turn the bass up a bit now, sounds slightly lacking in bottom end at the beginning again though, just my ideas and stuff, not saying they're right

Thanks a lot man. I'll do so and upload it later on.

Alrighty! Here's the new track with the 1db drop at 9khz and the bass brought up.
