I love the song and the structure.  Listening on Bose Companion 5 speakers. IMHO, I think the mix needs some work. The vocals are very thin and non present in the mix. The reverb is further taking away from the clarity of the vocal. The rest of the mix is also thin and harsh to my ears also and could use some warmth applied to it. 

Thanks Scotty, I will give it another try on the mix, I'm not a mix master or nothing like that. After a while of listening to things for me at this time it all sounds the same to me.
 
But then again I'm not a professional by no means. 
 
I'll see if I can figure out what your talking about with the mix, if you have any suggestions I am wide open to them. 
I am now using Sonar Platinum, so if you have any recommendations on any settings with Breverb or anything like that, or Reverb in general, I'm just working with my ears and turning some knobs on the settings. Dry/Wet etc....
 
By thin do you mean, Low end sounds being cut out for clarity, or medium?  Just wondering, 
 
Thanks again for taking the time to listen and reply and the advice, I'm going to remix this, even though I really don't know from a professional point of view what I am doing, I do have my ears and am trying to learn. 
 
Thanks again Scotty!
 
Happy Holidays!
 

By "thin", I mean cut out some highs from 2k on up. The vocals seem to be too wet.

Thanks Scotty, I'll give it a try!

I enjoyed the song - it has a good hook.  I thought the drums sound fine, so good job there. I really liked the rhythm guitar - sounded nice to my ears.  Nice job on lead vox - sounded like a phaser or chorus was on it.  Overall a well constructed song.

Thank you for taking the time to listen and reply. I had Chorus on the lead guitar, but not the vocals. 
 
Thanks again!
 
Happy Holidays!

Thanks to everyone who listened and replied. I'm going to try and remix this but I am going to take my time doing so. Hopefully these forums will still be up when I get a new mix. I'm leaving the original mix up there for now also. 
 
 
Happy Holidays!

Hi Bobby,
 
I listened on headphones. Great song.
 
Mix-wise, I'm wondering how you have treated the bass. Maybe some setting on some plug-in is set to "nuke" ? I think if the bass were perhaps a little less compressed, limited, saturated, chorused - I'm not sure what you have done here - it would use less energy/headroom and there would be more left over for the upper frequency instruments (like vocals) to shine through. 
 
Keep in mind I listened on headphones, but if things are boomy down to the 100hz or so they give me, I bet they're boomy below that. 
 
What ya got going on the bass?
 
cheers,
-Tom

Merry Xmas Bobby

I'm still trying to find a good setup and sound for my Bass. I'm not a bass player, I just play my bass to finish my tunes. 
Or what I am trying to say I guess is, I'm still learning what I need to do with my own sounds. 
 
Happy Holidays! THANK YOU!
