Thanks so much for the stems, such a sick track. I'm fairly new to mixing
had a quick go at mixing this track, would love to know what everyone thinks
No problem! For being fairly new, I think that you did a pretty good job. Your snare is suffering horribly though. You need something with more crack and something a little more prominent. Also, I think your kick is a little too compressed. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.

I'm still kind of confused. The whole mix just sounds really ambient. The guitar and bass are pretty beast though. I just wish that the mix as an entirety was a little better.

I would try working on the drums to start out with. If you're going for the same sound they did, try going BIG!

I'm digging the shit out of your mix! It is a tad flat sounding for my tastes, but I still enjoyed it! That bass tone is pretty tasty!

Thanks again to everyone who has posted in this thread. I know that I may not have the best mixing skills or advice, but I am still trying to help others out with what I do know. Personal critiques are welcome as well!
Thanks for the advice 
I had another go using different drum samples and tried rolling off the comp on the bass. also experimented with different guitar tones

Yes Sir!
I have been playing around with Reaper in my spare time and decided I would give mixing this a shot. It's honestly the very first thing I have mixed in Reaper and it was fun. Thanks for posting these!

Want to know the reason for the flatness? My interface did this...
(hint: the bottom control is for treble...)
Might mix it again, without that strange clipping on the tracks -.-
But thanks for digging it already!

hmm, I think you just subjectively don't like the aesthetics of my style
It happens...

This mix is WAY better than mine. Holy shit dude. The fullness of the mix now compared to your last mix is tons better. Nice job!

The mix would have sounded great except for all of the tracks being off time. They didn't line up at all. I'm still honored that the great Onqel did a mix test on my thread!
