    This sounds very good. Well sung and played. Lead guitar could be louder when not in the solo part and drums could be louder in the chorus part. But I'm using cheap headphones so I might be wrong. Very nice melody.

    Sounds well here the drums are a little on the light side and there appears to be a lack of general bottom end weight.  everything else sounds OK though.
     
    Thanks for sharing.

    Not a mix comment per se, but the na-nas might be better as either an instrument or a sung phrase.  Personal preference, I know, but I think the gang vocals would have more umph within the context of a lyric, otherwise just fill out that riff with guitar or synth or something.

    All music was recorded and all in Sonar.

    Nice song.  Well played, well mixed.  I could also see those na-nas as a cool guitar riff or some other instrumental passage....
    Otherwise I think is some really good stuff.

    Thank you all for the comments,
     
    It´s funny !!! that nah-nah part on the chorus it was first sung by my 3 year old when i was messing around on the guitar while writing the song hehe. I can see your point in your advice, but honestly, i would change the entire song first before changing that part

    I like the nahs nahs just fine. Cool tune and I like the mix. Could use a little more low end, but not too much more.
