P.S. Everyone can choose the reference tracks he/she wants to mix the song but in order to have a same starting point to evaluate and compare our mixes, for the video, we’ll need to use the given reference/rough mix so actually we do not judge each other but we compare our versions to songs that were professionally treated.

P.P.S. Please, consider doing additional researches regarding the reference tracks, using also different platforms, what I do it’s just give general suggestions ;P

Daniel S -- 8/10: I would listen to this for an hour on loop. I love the drums and guitars. can't hear piano, but I might just be deaf.
Santi Rod -- 9/10: love the reverb ( if that's what my ears hear and I'm not experiencing halucinations), the piano is a bit hiden. Drums are great, and so are vocals. In my honest opinion the guitar is a bit (3 dB) too loud.
j.budde -- 7/10: Solid remix. I think you should move the piano a bit more to the right and the bass to the left.
Pabo Carso -- 9/10: Piano is quiet while still being distinct from the background noise, and the reverb is great! I think that the vocals are a bit ( like 4 dB) too loud, and I didn't hear any other problems.
Miha -- 10/10: Reverb is great, panning is great, nothing is too loud, nothing is hidden. i am calling this the best remix as of rating rn.
HenrikeDomin -- 5/10. drums are well defined, piano is too loud, and if I'm not completely deaf, you are over-compressing a ton of the vocals.
Damian -- ?/10: can't listen to flac files on google drive.
MauriceMix -- 7/10: drums are too smooth... i can't really explain what it means in actual terms... anyway pretty much everything is solid, except I would say that you are also a little bit over-compressing, but its 9:30 Pm so I might be imagining this ( please understand that everything after this point should also be subject to intense doubt ).
Rick Wright -- 7/10: Drums are great, but vocals are a bit too quiet compared to the accompaniment.
Minyu -- 6/10: piano is too prominent, while IMO it should be more of a background instrument. drums are a bit too crispy, guitar is too quiet, just switch the places of piano and guitar.
Kurt Gottwald -- 5/10: very little to no reverb, drums are way too loud. like the mains instruments in this mix are vocals and drums, everything else is in the background.
Jason C -- 6.9/10: the same thing as Kurt Gottwald, but better mix, and is that distortion on the wolf howls??? if it is, I love it, and if it isn't I still love it.

ME - 0/10 can't mix right now, as I only have access to a Chromebook temporarily.

Please ignore everything I wrote because I am an amateur at listening at this level and probably had the largest sound hallucinations someone has ever heard.
