Hello again everyone, hope your day is going well.
I'm a little nervous to post this but at the same I'm excited. Ever since I started learning to make music in 2010 I've really only made HipHop, even though I have a passion for Rock music as well (My favorite album isn't even HipHop, it's Fallen by Evanescence).
Long story short, I wanted to change that so I installed my old electric guitar refills, grabbed my midi keyboard loaded up Reason and got to work. This was quite the challenge but I think it was worth it for what I cooked up. Let me know what you think of it.

Your favorite album is shining through It needs vocals though, without it, it's a bit repetitive. But as a vocal track, it would work very well.

works for me

Thanks for listening AND the compliment. This being my first attempt at this type of track, that truly made my day.
Forgive me but the critic in me is taking over. How well would you say this was mixed? I personally feel that the guitars aren't heavy/weighty enough. Like they don't have a hard enough impact.

The mix is fairly balanced so far, it could use a tiny bit more reverb tmo. The guitars could be a bit darker indeed. I wouldn't do too much to them, though, as they might easily overpower the other instruments (a mixing problem I tend to run into myself sometimes). Maybe give the bass a bit more prominence as well. But.... adding vocals (really, the track deserves it) might need a complete revisit of the instruments-mix.

Thank you for the insight. This was a lot of fun and I will most definitely remember your tips going forward.
