Radio Rock - little instrumental for practise

[XoechZ]

Hello!

I have just finished a little Rock guitar instrumental. I just wanted to have some fun playing it and grow my mixing skills. It´s nothing special, just for fun.

But anyways, honest opinions about it, especially mixing are very welcome. After all the years I am still a noob and want to learn and extend my skills.

Here is what I have used:

Drums: EZdrummer2
Bass: DI from a cheap Dean bass guitar
Rhythm Guitar: Ibanez JEM with Mercuriall U530
Lead Guitar: Ibanez JEM with Mercuriall Spark

And a whole bunch of plugins from the Slate Everything Bundle.

Finally, here is the link: https://soundcloud.com/user-244569577/radio-rock

And I have to say that my local mp3 file, rendered from Reaper, sounds much better than the Soundcloud upload. Sorry for that, I am new at these things and don´t know how to do it better (uploading).


EDIT:
Here is version 2 with a different intro and slightly adjusted volumes. Sounds better to my ears. Again, SoundCloud quality is crap.

I make radio rock too, what a coincidence!

Again, SoundCloud quality is crap.

I normally don't have complaints for soundclouds quality (I'm resistant to 128kbit mp3s), but I feel like there's some pops (clipping?) in the recent uploads that weren't there in the source material. Anyways, your mixes sound pretty solid to me, quality and mix wise.

Sounds good over here. I agree that v2 is a little better. Nice track to jam to!
