Like the track. I agree that the snare sound is obviously waaaay over compressed. In fact, the sound of the snare is exactly the sound I get when I smash a snare mult to blend in with the unsmashed snare. You might try mixing that sound in with an uneffected snare mult. If you could open up the drum sound in general, I think the whole track would take on another (and better) life/sound. Not sure if you're running the whole kit, or just the snare through that compressor, but the snare is taking a drastic hit. The track in general sounds a bit muffled, but like I said, unveiling a component (drums in this case) can have a profound effect on how the whole track is percieved. Just listened again. I think the comments on the vintage warmer have merit. It's making the mix sound a bit dull. I'm not sure about the "tubby" snare comment. The snare is being killed before it even gets a chance to be tubby. In my opinion, you need to open up the drums, and maybe consider using a different plug to make the track louder. Even with that plugin on the master, the mix is not very loud at all. I think this track could sound fabulous with a few major tweaks (untweaks?).
