Forgive me, but I’m not going to vote. I can’t hear much above 3.5k, so I’m never going to be able to give a properly balanced decision.
Vote for me then .. :-)

5 points - @Bezzer - I like this mix bright, and wide...my styleee.
3 Points - @Branshen - Again, nice stereo width, guitars sit nice in the mix, vocal very slightly muddy for me ....but who am I..
1Point - @poopot - Nice even mix...Im not keen on the click Kick drum...otherwise cool.
Good mix challenge, be interesting to see what a Pro engineer would do....not belittling anyone of course !

I will vote soon, I've been mixing my cover challenge for days now and slowly killed my ears. When they have recovered I will return here!

Based on that, my choices where clear pretty quickly so then it came down to details. First being "the clap" which was a ridiculously bright sample and had become more of a click so how that was dealt with. On that basis ... and I realise it may seem like you scratch my back but I promise I was impartial, I think tastes are similar ...
5 points @spark240 ... bright but still warm, vocals sit in the mix not on top of it, fixed the sharp spike of the clap. Really liked it.
3 points @oaf ... initially I thought deleting the clap was cheating but it did stop the distraction and the mix was lovely and warm with an especially nice bass sound.
1 point @poopot ... really lovely crisp sounding mix but I think the reverbs swelled a bit and became a little too much for my taste as you go through. The claps were really prominent in the 8k + too which stood out.
I mean these are niggles, they all sounded great and was having to find niggles to seperate.
Nice job by everyone though, even enjoyed @Fretwired playing back at 45 instead of 33 1/3 (shame, I think they may have been a nice mix sat in there)
5pts to @Bezzer
3pts to @oaf
1pt to @Branshen
the general verdict was they are all great...
top work chaps!.
@Poopot: Good tone overall. The kick doesn’t sit well and gets overbearing after awhile.
@Bezzer: Good tone but this would have made 3rd place if there wasn’t an issue with some snare hits disappearing (probably gated too hard)
@Spark240: To my ears, too tinny and lacking in body.
@Roland: muffled and unbalanced with too much bottom end. Instruments don’t cut through.
@rico: My favourite of the lot, deals with snare slapback issue well.
@oaf: Decent tone overall, but the mix sounds messy (probably caused by the balance of the drums).
@fretwired: Despite the accidental speeding up, I quite like the tone and balance.
@rico: 1st place
@fretwired: 2nd place
@poopot: 3rd place
Good job all! Thanks for the comments. I've definitely learned something from mangling this mix!
