First song - feedback and tips appriciated

Hello all... 
 
First post, first song. I'm quite new to making music with a DAW (about a year) and only have experience with Sonar X3, and lately Sonar Platinum. 
 
Watched tons of tutorials, and read all I can find on "tips & tricks" for using the DAW, mixing and mastering. It's seems to me alot of the "do's and don'ts" contradicts, so it's been alot of testing. I find the mixing and getting everything ballanced to be especially challenging. 
 
Anyway... Been following this forum for a bit, and heard alot of good stuff here in the song section. Obviously many of you have much experience, so any comment would be greatly appriciated. 
 
Thanks!

I like it.

I think it's a really good song, and your voices are enviable.
To my taste then there's way too much reverb. My advice would be to reduce the reverb significantly!
I sense that the reverb is on the master output, which makes it all gets a little unclear.
I listen to the song through the computer speakers, which may explain why I can not get all the nuances, but especially the vocals derserves to stand much more out in the song.
 
This song has real potential in my view.
 

Thanks alot Jaro. 
 
I only had the BT Brickwall on the master bus. The reverb I used is put on FX busses. (So my vocal track is sent to a FX bus with reverb and then to master from there.) But I will try and tone it further down like you suggest, and see how it turns out. 
 
 
Just a quick clarification. "way to much reverb in general" or just on the vocals?

I enjoyed that very much. One thing that bugged me while listening was a left-right imbalance between the two guitars, which might be more noticeable in headphones. I was listening on speakers. I would pull the piano over to the right to offset the dominant guitar on the left.

A little bit of low-end rumble but my speakers aren't the best...good job.

This is a beautiful song with fine vocals.  I like what I heard as far as the mix is concerned.  Encore!

Thank you.

wELL, i WOULD SAY IF IT WAS POOR RECORDING QUALITY YOU COULD FIX IT BY PULLING BACK THE RIGHT LOW-END FREQUENCIES. (OOPS caps lock on!). One way to help prevent this from being in your final recordings is listen to your song in Headphones and on a few speaker systems to get a good feel for how your song sounds in a few different environments, that's my advice. -S
 

Bass a little less, vocals a little more, and holy cow this is a good song. Awesome unpredictablity in the arrangement.
 
The snare is kind of buried somewhere, maybe it could come up, too, even the sidestick.
 
cheers,

This is a great piece of work. You say you have only been using a DAW for a year, but I guess you've been producing stuff a lot longer than that?
 
Some great comments above. I wish I could bring something to the party but that's not going to happen.
 
Yeah, great song, thanks for posting 

Thank you!   
 
And to to answer your question I really have not produced or worked with music at all. I love music, and played a little guitar and piano when I was younger. What triggerd this was actually that I downloaded Garage Band on the iPad, and toyed a bit with it. Very fun but very limited (at least the version I had). So started to look into the different DAWs on the marked and got Sonar X3, some studio monitors and a mic. Have to admit the learning curve was pretty steep, but alot of good tips on youtube, CakeTV ond so on. I have made a few more songs now, but this is the only one so far that is finished. (or at least almost finished. Still needs to be finetuned some more)
