Mixing Safety in Slumber: This time I work on the main vocals, with effects, serial compression and automation.

 

The mix is coming along nicely.
I think your drum midi might be off (early/late). Did you try using the original track as a reference to align the drums properly?
Easy fix, just nudge it around until your snares line up. I can hear the ghosting and it seems way off, like at least a beat or so.

 

I just came back to say hats off to you, mixing recorded rock is a lot harder IMO than mixing EDM.
I still suck at it. But at least I have an idea now.
Here was my first attempt

I'll address the drums next.

 

Make sure you have your Ableton EQ eight set to oversampling. When you right-click on the EQ header you will see a checkmark next to it if it is already on. And also another good habit to help save CPU is to turn off any warping in all the samples that don't need it like all the drums that you rendered you can turn off warping in all of those. And any others that are the same BPM as project that you haven't had to beat map or move the warp markers

I totally disagree that you suck at it.You should have seen my early "mixes" in early 2000s in cool edit pro.
Holy shit i sucked.I would rate my post as nasty if i could, but i cant.

I think you just overloaded your ears working on that song(i commented earlier) too much.
Fatigue happens to every one and then we go into destruction mode.
