Hey @mechanism-music,
Sounds good! I reckon it would be accepted, but there are a few improvements you could make to the mix.
Some quick comments:
-
The whole track could be a tad brighter, but it's hard to tell with SoundCloud's annoying compression, so if you think it has ample high-end, leave it as is.
-
The stereo-imaging / soundstaging needs some work. At the moment it sounds quite narrow. Try panning some of the background instruments to widen the mix and create more working space. If you've applied delay post-recording, you might want to try ping-pong delay for the main muted guitar riff - it usually gives a nice spatial quality.
-
Things get especially busy at the 2-minute mark; there are quite a few instruments fighting over the mid-frequencies. Firstly, I would bring down the background guitars playing the higher notes as they sound a little overpowering. Try hard-panning them to widen the soundstage and give the mix some more space. I would also make sure to EQ out any unnecessary frequencies in each instrument to make room for others, and to reduce overall muddiness and 'frequency-fighting' in the mids.
The review team seems to love live instruments, so you stand a very good chance at being accepted
Good luck!
James
