Working on this trying to fight my way around a few Audio Snap bugs and an issue with setting prefader gains compared to what Sonar is actually registering.

Anythoughts on the mix itself?

I performed all drums, Acoustic and Electric guitars and the bass
Vocals are Mr Lightfoot 
Radio transmissions and Newscast are actual recordings

Thanks for thoughts on the mix in advance

Very impressive  Mike... I'm not having much luck so far with X2...

Mike, I like this from beginning to end.  The mix sounds very good on my speakers, and the overall song is an excellent tribute of one of my favorite songs of the past.  The radio transmissions and newscast are a nice touch.  How did you manage to get the vocal?  Anyway, you just get better and better.

This is a really cool take on this song.

I love the actual audio clips of them looking for the wreck and talking about.

It sounds a tad bit boomy to me, but I don't have my monitors set up and I'm listening on some low end headphones.

X2 has been working fine for me so far. A far cry from what X1 did to my poor DAW.

cool song.

Nice job on the music and the vocals are good. I'd bring the vocals up a bit, by a few db.... the radio broadcast is fine and a nice touch. 

 The bass seems to be a bit boomy on these speakers too. The drums don't stand out like they should. 


The "Big Lake"..... 

It sounded good. Nice job mixing in Gordon Lightfoot voice in. Wish it has more singing though.

Thanks for the comments

I did go back and do some changes on the mix as noted above

Somehow I hid one of my sliders in CV so I had to go back to TV and adjust from there
Brought Bass and Newscast Down a tad, brought up the vocals.

I uploaded it to Reverb until I get a chance to add it back onto SoundCloud.

Anyone know how to unhide a track in CV?  LOL Dont know how it happened, all I did intentionally was the Metronome.

Hey, Mike,
 
Nice work on this cool tribute to a great classic!  I really like the tone of the wailing electric guitar parts and think it's really cool how you used the actual clips from the radio and news broadcasts.  You also did a very impressive job playing all the instrumental parts and staying true to the original.
 
Like Bub and Herb mentioned, I'd try high pass filtering the bass guitar anywhere from 45hz to as high as even 60hz, to remove some of the boominess.  You'd be surprised how much low end mud you can pull out of a bass and actually gain better definition of the sound.
 
Not sure how to unhide tracks in X2 (I'm still on 8.5), but on 8.5 pressing the "M" key brings up the track manager with check boxes for hiding/unhiding, and pressing the "A" key shows all hidden tracks.  Hope that helps!
 
Great work, Mike, excellent job on this!
Bob

Thanks Bob
Ill give that a try on filtering the Bass.  I have 8" monitors but I think I need a sub to hear the lows better LOL Appreciate the advise

Wookie hooked me up on the hidden track thing, X1 I think it was H and then check the box marked something about Sync.

Mike - I liked it.  The only thing that struck me was that the lead guitar part should be louder, especially at the begining, as it gets a little buried.  The vocals sound great as does the acoustic guitars.
