Good mix! I like the sound of the bass!
I suggest to widen guitars in heavy parts.

Hey, I really really dig the punchiness of the snare. What did you do there? Unfortunately the clean guitars seem to be clipping at the start of your mix.

Hi, Ivan! I think you've got a really great snare sound on this track! I'm curious if how you managed it. The bass sounds really good, too. Although, the sub of the kick drum are a little thick.

I agree with Oleksii about widening the heavy guitars. It would create a nice contrast and energy.

Nicely done!

Thanks Fellows for feedback, ill try to fix that.

for bass: the process I did was really minimalist; i grouped both bass tracks, group processing: some cuts with ProQ3(to get some space for Kick), I like these next two plugins: SSL EV2( like the solid bold bass preset: with some tweaks) and RCompressor(I like the low mid harmonics it adds, nothing much than 2:1 ratio),..I like the harmonics those plugins add, and I believe thats all...and at my master some eq, curves equator(I love this plugin), pultec(the pultec curves trick) from UA, ssl G bus compressor from UA, some Pro MB..clipper and Pro L2

for the Snare sound I love the sound I got from:
ProQ3: the punch and bleed control preset.
SSL EV2: Snare top preset.
Reverbs; Sunset sound studio reverb from IK Multimedia(Live Room: Studio 1) and Pure Plate from UA

Drum Bus Processing: SSL EV2(some Drums grp processing_no compression), and once again I use: rcompressor from waves(2:1 ratio comprssing no more that 2-3 dBs). and BSAclipper and I believe thats it.
