My tip to you: Use reverb.

Your mix is extremely dry, and the instrument don't sound cohesive. The reason is that you are not sending the instruments to a single reverb to simulate a room. You can use a separate, shorter reverb for the drums, to avoid muddiness, but the rest of the instruments should all be sent to a single reverb.

There are exceptions to every rule, but I find this generally helps.

Thanks for the advice! I normally use reverb but in this one I didn't want drums to be muddy. Then again like you said I can use separate reverb on drums. :)
