Merry Christmas to all!
Here is a new song I finished all in Sonar.  This is a song about a gospel story of Jesus and the apostles. Still working on my lead playing but am happy with this.

Jimmy , your song sounds very profesional …really like what you did with the vocals .
guitar has a nice sound and I like how you brought it in early like it skipped a beat …that was a nice touch …
near the end of the solo it drifts a little w the timing ….most folks would probably not notice it …

Nice country rock feel to this one Jimmy.  Your lead playing is coming along nicely.  Mix sounds pretty good to my ears.

I liked it. Sound cloud seems to trim off freqs above 18.
 
Nice work.

Hi Kenny.  Thanks for the listen and nice words.  That solo does get a little message toward the end.  It took me hours to get even that. Need to clean it up a bit I think.

Much thanks MakeShift.  I have been working on my lead playing but not "there" yet.  I checked this mix on my K240's and my ATH M50's and it stood up well so I decided to go for it. The bass and kick seem right to me.

Thank you Sixfinger.  I used Cake's VX-64 after recording with my Beh. B1.

Hey gswitz, thanks for the listen.  I agree about the degradation with SoundCloud but to me honest, I don't think I can hear anything above 12K anyway!  Nothing I can do about that.
I also did not compress the heck out of this  mix and as a result, it sounds good to me played back loud in the cans but seems a tad low in volume through SoundCloud.  I was not trying to make a CD ready mix at this point but needed some opinions/comments before I kept going.

Rimshot,
 
Sounds good.  A little verb heavy for my taste but it works.   The lead vocals seems a little muddy to me, I think if you EQ the verb that might take some muddiness out.   Like maybe HPF the LVox at around 500k?   That might do it.  Anyway, nicely performed and I like the song.  The vocal harmonies are perfect... 
 
I thought your guitar solo was good.   Sounds like a live performance...  
 
Regards
