this is the first pass final mix, 9th song posted out of 10 for a soon-to-be released album called "Trouble".
looking for translation issues. or comments on the mix balance.
thanks in advance.

Those guitar drop-ins between the vocals are way cool and presented well. The swing-time syncopation is excellent. And the vocals + bgv are killer!
 
I'd be tempted to push up the volume of the solo lead vocals.
 
The shaker/tambourine is a cool add! Is it swinging as hard as the rest of the stuff, or is it just a bit straighter?
 
Holy crap, there are so many awesome guitar tones in this. Great blend.
 
cheers,

I like, perhaps a dB or 2 on the vocals just to make them more present.  Cool guitar chops, nice bass sound, nice

I LOVE that little lick at 1:04 and elsewhere, goosebumps! You never over-play riffs, there's always a twist or a variation every other time. For me, the vocals are just right, classic rock sound, part of the whole. Superb track.

HI EMERALD,
glad you dig this one...
 
i'll boost the vox a bit....
 
and i don't know if i'd say the shaker and tamb are swinging much,
i played them more straight as to go against the rhythm,
to add some tension.

that little lick,
is so much fun, 
it's just kind of a 'from the hip' riff.
 
thanks for listening.
 
i'll leave this one up one more day

What he said.  You're material always sounds 100% professional.  CW should you use you as an example of what can be done with SONAR.  I hope you sell a million copies.  You deserve it.

hey jude,
(sounds familiar, that quote.....) ;)
thanks man.
millions of copies, yes.
 
in truth, if i sell 15, i'll be astounded.

Bats, I've tried listening to this for a couple days now, just says Oops, something went wrong! Pretty sure it's my employer's network issues, it's always hit or miss on Soundcloud from here.  Sorry man, I tried.
