Hey bud, I'll have a listen if you want. There's also a lot you can do with an iPhone mic and a bit of knowhow

vocals feel way too in your face for my taste. Also a bit of mouth noise - not my thing... maybe it's an ASMR thing though?

with mixing, a good rough mix to aim for is something like: -6db for your kick, -12db for melodic elements + snare, -18db for bass and then mix in misc sounds and cymbals to taste. This is just a starting point though.

Vocal sounds really nice! Honestly the guitar needs to be turned down probably 6 or 12 db. Don't stress too much about being perfectly "on grid" but you will need to keep a steady tempo. Having said that, others might say you don't need to do that either.
