Requesting comments on my recording.
I would appreciate all comments (bad or good) about this Jingle Bells remake I have linked to. Please comment on the mixing and mastering of this song. I am a true beginner, so any comments will certainly help. I am using Sonar Platinum, Izotope 5, Waves Gold, and Waves CLA plugins.

The link to the song was deleted by Cakewalk. It is on Soundcloud under the name Keyport Steve.
I promise to get the magic "25" posts done tonight, Cakewalk Team :-)

Hi Steve, You have get to around five posts, might be more, before you can post links. Your links were deleted automatically. Also, for comments on our work, we post this stuff in the Songs forum. You're in the Techniques forum at the moment... Listening to your version of Jingle Bells... An interesting take for sure  Sounds okay too, in terms of composition and mix. How was this produced then? cheers andy

Steve, post the link in plain text and we'll gladly turn it into a clickable link for you.
After you've done that, I'll move this into the Songs forum where you're likely to get more responses.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

Intro was very cool. Then it got kind of predictable. Not bad, just predictable.
Drums were the best part for me overall.
Mix was good.

I didn't read too well, I guess, so I wasn't expecting a Christmas song. I haven't ever heard this song in minors. Kinda interesting. Interesting bass line throughout. Welcome home. This is a friendly place to be and I look forward to hearing more your work.

You are going to get soooo sued by Santa.

would like to hear some originals if you have them!
cheers,

hello shuffle dude, and welcome!
cool take on this tune...
very neat parts and breakdowns....
gotta agree about the drums, even tho the basic 'shuffle' (i hear samba) groove is good,
but the drums have a canned feel.....
subtle changes in EVERY clip you pull in or create, helps a lot...
and as always, take out, before you put in.
the mix, is kinda light in the low end. needs more bass, more kick, just more.
if you would post a WAV file, i could try to analyze it for you.....
but basically, your gain levels sound good, panning is clear,
nothing sounds out of phase, going in the right direction.

Thanks all for the kind words and helpful comments.
I have added three new songs to my Soundcloud account (Keyport-Steve). Please let me know what you think of them.
