This is my first Attempt at using Sonar to mix a song. It is a cover of the Song La Villa Strangato by the Band Rush. I recorded the audio files on my AW16G yamaha 16 track recorder and then took the raw audio tracks and uploaded them into Sonar. I am very pleased with the results but I'm sure there is lots of room for improvement. feed back on my recording's sound quality would be cool. Be nice about the musicianship. It was hard to play everything and get it tight.

This song is probably my favorite piece of music of all time.  Especially loved the chorus guitars. Wow, who played those drums?!

thanks all. i guess i did good. the drum tracks were played by me as well as everything else. i missed a couple chops on the drums but as for a first attempt using sonar i fell pretty good. now on to some of my own stuff.
here is a list fo everything i used 

gibson les paul deluxe for the heavy guitar parts through a digitech rp500 pedel system direct.

ibenez hallow body electric for the chours guitar through a roland micro cube amp

rickenbacker 4001 for bass dircet
yamaha cs2x synth
and the beloved roland td20 v drums.

Nice Job on the playing,

If I was going to throw in my preference on this Id have to say-

Maybe lower the HiHats & Cymbols a tad and bring up the Drums a bit.  Just my pref on it though but Im also listening on my cans so I could be off LOL

Great job though-Luv me some Rush!!!

Thanks again guys. 
Digi2ns... I had a feeling that the Hi hat and cymbals were a little hot. after I burned it to CD and played it in my truck I could tell. I was really looking for some one to tell me what I already knew Being a drummer first and foremost I find that I sometime put the drums to far out in front on my mixes. I play a lot of instruments but the drums are my love. hope to here more of your stuff Digi2ns. I love what I have listened to on your soundcloud page. great stuff. hope to here more and share more here soon.  
regards all

  Welcome to the forum Kenny. Great guitar chops the drums are spot on. Liked the drums  with regard to how played and rhythm. I would maybe add a little more space to the drum mix if it were me. The drums seemed just a tad dry especially at the beginning IMHO. Noone else picked up on it so far...maybe it's just me.

This is a VERY ambitious tune to cover, and I have to say you did it well.. Chops were good, and the mix is done well... Maybe beef up those drums a little more, but all in all I think this was a great cover. Nicely done!
