Hey I needed some listeners with that recent song sample I posted , you were right it needed so much work I decided to delete all my tracks except for my drum track and my percussion tracks .
This is what I created today , completely different . I added a nice Bass track , some light electric guitar and a nice chorus violin .
The piano track I redid also and added a nice PAD sound to go with it , I'm pretty sure I got the MIX right but you be the judge if you don't mine listening to what I have going on now .
I also renamed my song , its now called OCEAN OF TEARS .

Sounds good. Suggestions, try bringing up the mids with the Pro Channel EQ. Try placing a low pass filter on the bottom end. Swing the piano to a bus and put in a slight chorus effect on it, Cakewalk FX Chorus, Big Stereo Spread. Clone and pan a bit. Then add some guitar solo! FREE

Not a bad start James.

The mix definitely needs work, it all sounds a bit muddy. Maybe try out Randy's suggestions, it might help to clean things up a bit.

As far as the structure goes, it needs to go somewhere. You need to change direction once or twice to maintain interest, as it stands, it's almost like an eight-bar loop on repeat.

And maybe try and build up the piece a bit - for example you could hold off on bringing the drums or the piano in until a bit later to help move things along.

How's the guitar playing coming along?

As the guys said on Crossfire, it could use some direction.

I like Little Abbey. The nice thing about being a beginner guitar player is that you don't over play it. The parts fit perfectly in there.

         Thanks Scotty your right about direction something I was still working
         on , I was more or less noodlying around on the keyboard thats all
         so I would have something on the piano track for you guys to listen to .
         Randys suggestions sound like a solid plan of attack , thanks everyone
         for the feedback on the MIX on this new song I'm working on .
 
         Thanks Scotty I'll never be as good as you on the guitar but maybe in
          a year or two I can play good enough to work with all my songs as
          I create them .
 
          Thanks -James
