Just made my first short music clip in X3, using soft synth's and plugins from sonar
and Console and EQ from Sonimus, still learning to mix, hard to get those drums back

That bad ehhh, well still learning...
Wish i had NI Kontakt and some library's, i know that sound's good
Get better mix also then, if the sound's is almost "ready mixed" ( sound's real )
and is not to dull or sounds horrible....

As i say dull sound = better dull sound when mixed 

If anyone know some webpages / tips & tricks to move drums and vocals
back in the mix i would be happy, cause vocal and drum's i find the hardest to push back in the mix.

That really doesn't sound bad, as far as it goes. You have a decent balance between your instruments.
One thing I learned quickly with this stuff is that the more you know, the more you know you don't know.
Listen to songs in the songs forum, and when people offer technical critiques, listen for what they are talking about.
I've learned a ton here.
Read, watch videos, absorb as much as you can. Like most of us, I am still learning. You will, too.
Don't sweat kontakt. Yes, it's nice, but you can get respectable sound from even modest synths like TTS1.
When you are playing your MIDI keyboard, don't think keyboard. Get involved with the virtual instrument you are playing. Your mindset has almost as much to do with getting good sound from MIDI soft synths as the samples do.
I realize that is somewhat abstract, but it works. By way of example, check out Khyber Pass9 at my Soundclick page. This is all virtual instruments played with my keyboard. You can do it.
Read, read, read, thrash your keyboard, try stuff. Don't be afraid to trash a project. You're not paying for studio time. Good luck, and above all, keep it fun.
