An original song recorded via Sonar X3.  Learned alot.  Love Addictive Drums!  Used several ProChannel modules on tracks and busses.  Hope you like it, and I appreciate the feedback.

All mixes are a subjective experience, bearing that in mind, for me the vocal sounds dry, compared to the band, consequentially it sounds in a different space to the band.  
 
The band sounds very good and accomplished, as does the vocal.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
Edit: for clarity of my own subjective observation

I agree with Wookiee.  The vocals don't sound as if they reside in the same room as the rest of the instruments.  I also think the Vox could be brought up front a little bit.  I think the instrumental blend was good although the tom sounds on the drums sounded a little boomy and coming out of nowhere.  I also noticed that there were no real harmonies perhaps that was as intended I have noticed this frequently in this genre (just a nit of mine).

Much of the time I just launch Audacity for a one-take at the kitchen table.  This is the 3rd or 4th song recorded with Sonar I think.  I'm basically a one-man-band, singer-songwriter type trying to give my songs some life with the tools and techniques I've learned here, on YouTube, etc.
 
Any advice on what to try?  Different verb on the vocal maybe?  I didn't use Tape Sim, but I did use Console Emulator on a couple of busses.  And maybe I'm not using the right setting on my monitors.  I had the HF cut by a couple of db and was at +6db on volume.
 
On the first export the vocal sounded weak, so I boosted it a couple of db.  I thought the level was okay, but I sure wasn't thinking in terms of space.
 
Several of my songs need harmony so I'm going to have to sing it or create it with plug-ins or have some friends over.
 
Again thanks for the feedback.

Has a nice Lyle Lovett feel to it.  I really like this!  I don't think the vocal sounds bad at all, although perhaps it could just just a touch of reverb.  I've always liked a dry mix, and your excellent vocal can really stand up to it.

That made my day Walt:)  Thanks so much.

Nice little bluesy song and nicely done. Sounds like you may have already put a touch of reverb to it, but it all sounded good at this end. Nice work on the vocals.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I ' ve got nothing to complain! Just like Walt, I prefer a little dryer over a total wet, reverbladen mix. this makes it sound more "vintage" in my ears, and just suits with your song!

I continued listening, "little cabin up on big stone lake" - man, you have a great voice!

Thanks ya'll.
 
Re: speedtom and 'Little Cabin....' that was a one-take with Audacity, but I didn't think it pro enough for this audience, hope to put a Sonar version together, but I sure appreciate you listening and the kind compliment:)  There is such a cabin btw, it's still in the family.
