Hello all
This is a first mix of a song written by Barry Jay and Dottie Corley. The artist is Nelly Rene.....and I did all of the production in my home studio using Sonar X3. Will be adding more instruments...just want to get sine ideas on what could be better. THANKS

Is this wayward wings? I would tune Nelly a little on the lower passages, when she gets up in her range, she's bringing it... "Really bringing it." Or maybe pitch the song up a key or two, and record her doing the lower parts,and then pitch those down and import back in to the project (that's another range trick) I really only noticed it in the beginning. 
 
This chick has some great pipes man!

Nice.
 
Well written and produced song overall, albeit probably a tad generic (guilty of that myself), but a few key additional instruments with a unique sound and riff can help that.
 
Her voice is excellent, needs a tune up in places though.
 
I reckon a male duet would work well with this song to help break the monotony of the female vocal.
 
A string would fit easily in there.
 
Pro sound mate, well done

Nice tune with a really nice vocal.  Sure there is some room for improvement, more instruments or something but with raw talent like this, you are running downhill.  I love Nelly's voice.  What a great name!  Really beautiful song.

Sounds like your on the right track, some sound advice above.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Not much to add...   Good vocal performance and tone, nice harmonies, and the arrangement works OK.   If anything I'd bring up the instrumentation in the chorus; e.g., more "smack" from the snare and maybe a ride cymbal, a small string section might sound nice, etc.  Pretty typical pop stuff, but I think it'd work. 
 
But mix-wise you're doing a very nice job!
 

Thanks guys. This is really not "mixed" yet. I mixed the background vocals so Nelly could hear them. I mixed down the instruments to a single track before recording vocals, for cpu reasons. Once the guitar is added Sunday I will tweak it some more. THANKS

was waiting for the big guitar to bring it all home.  LOL.  great tune and vocals

Needs a steel guitar and a mandolin

Haha...not sure about the steel and mandolin....but I will add guitar this evening.
