Help to write notes for revision on a testmix

Hey !
Here is th V2 :

Without effect on the master channel ^^

Less loud ! No more saturation and the bass drops go much better!
I find the balance between the instruments not bad, the mix seems ​​clearer.

On the other hand, I have the impression that the trebbles have increased quite a bit. And to my ear, it's more "aggressive" and a bit tiring to listen to.
The middles also increased a little, and the bass decreased very little.

Basically, compared to the initial mix, I would have lowered the bass, increased the middles and left the trebbles as they are. As it stands, I find the V2 still unbalanced.

The second one seems better to me. There's less distortion and the kick and snare are better balanced. The sound feels a bit more open and less fatiguing to my ears. It also gives the mastering engineer something better to work from.

Ouch! That’s fierce - but it may be genre-appropriate.

Thank you for your feedback!

What do yo mean by "fierce"?

Lots of sharp high frequencies.

There is a lot of energy in the octaves either side of 4k. Looking at an analyser there's a lot more than I usually see, but as stated before, that's not my genre.
It's a bit overdone to me and my instinct is to tame that region with a broad EQ cut.
It also seems a little bit light in the real bottom end, but I'm a sucker for overdoing the bass so maybe ignore me on that one!

It's much more balanced, the highs are less aggressive.

On the other hand, the level is always loud, because it reaches 0 db sometimes.

But for the instrument part, I think we are really in the right direction.

On the other hand, we find that the vocals sound weird, as if they were emptied of a bit of their substance. It's pretty hard to describe.

Here is the V5 :

I think it will be the final mix.
What do you think?
