The guys kept asking me for a first mix for them to listen. It's not mastered, it's a first shot mix with headphones, so some things might be a little unbalanced. When listening in my car, I noticed the bass was a little to strong, and snare pops out sometimes. Most job was done on vocals overall, but no automation at all for the moment. Missing vocals in the second chorus. 2 vocalists, had some issues with their vocals burying each other.

Band is The Eleventh Hour (I don't know what they thought when they chose the name - everyone has heard that before, just look at LoG and ABR).
Nothing fancy musically, really generic metalcore stuff, but I kinda learned to like their stuff music. The guys are awesome to work with, we're finishing vocals tonight if everything goes well.
I'd just like to have some pointers to where I should take this mix from here, as I know there is a lot of people with a lot more experience than me here. I have 5 other songs to mix, all in this style, more or less. I know, the drums sound like Idols and Anchors.
Thanks already!
