Always enjoy your guitar playing Robert, you have a knack for memorable riffs, the kind that make you wait for them to come back around. I'd be interested to hear this with Rick singing.

Hi Robert!
 
What a nice rock mix....love the choice of tone and the solo work. If you're asking what we think I can tell you my OP on how it might be made even better....
 
I would load the original file back into your X3 and if you have a mastering plug-in I would start by setting it to a rock or indie rock setting and tweak for the mix from there. If you don't have a mastering plug-in, I would use what's in the pro channel. There are some decent mastering settings in the PC folder. Basically limit or light compress the entire mix. But not much. This has a few benefits, for one thing it gives you another gain stage before mastering and the light compression or limiting makes the mix slightly more aggressive.
 
If it were me I would take the opportunity to balance out the EQ by giving the mix a bit more mid range bite. The multiband compressor in Sonar is great for  adding bass and midrange boost while letting the rest of the mix untouched...I have a bit of an indie bent, so maybe you like the mix as it is...I tent to like a little bite and clarity with  more agressive bass. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I did not master this yet as I wanted feedback about the mix. I have a new mix of The Same with Rick, rwrenolds, singing the vocals and he did a great job with it.

Listening to the link in Guitarpima's last post sounds OK though for me personally the kick could do with some more punch.  Other than that sounds like a good tune with some interesting lyrics and some nice guitar playing.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Robert,
 
Sounds much better, the backing track is clear, however, I find the vocal track hard to hear.   The vocals are good but muffled to my ear.  They need some more presence in the mix.
 
Regards

Thanks for the comments. I addressed some of the issues, hopefully, and put the new track up.
