Hi all!
Thanks again
@JeroenZuiderwijk for the feedback, here's my R2 mix. I've tried to be subtle with the changes, and added mostly automation, which was what I had not done thoroughly in the first round. So, this would be the polished version, I've lowered the snare a couple of db's in the verses, raised the vocals in the choruses and made some room for them in general; perhaps this was the biggest change, I used a bus for the entire band and other for the vocals and made room via sidechain. In the original mix I had not made this that way, because of (my idea of) the genre and the fact that I was aiming for the vocals to blend in the mix.
There's also automation in the guitars and I've added a bit of saturation in the whole band bus, which is also automated in order to lift in certain parts, specially towards the ending. And the last "trick" is a bit of Oxford Inflator, which is also automated! A tiny little bit.
One last (not too little) detail: I've adjusted the master compressor's threshold knob; it was barely doing nothing. And I've adjusted the Faichild compressor in the guitars bus, same thing. This way I feel there's more cohesion, and I've raised the output knob on UAD's Manley Varimu which I think adds something else (at least in a homeopathic way
)
