Well, first of all, I do apreciate all comments and all of them are truly welcome. I believe I said here before "I'm not perfect, I just learning, everybody is always learning and so on and so on", so the way I see things, it's a bit unfair to make it look like I'm constantly boasting "I'm the best, I'm the pro, and so on and so on" 'cause I never did in the first place. I guess I also said before this is all made in an amateur platform with almost no equipment. So if "He/she/it" is pro, than he must have a wiser and wider vision over the case for is own "pro" sake. Furthermore, this was my first production ever. I mean, I've been in studio quite a few times with bands, but just as a musician. Learned some stuff it some "studiomasters" but this was the first time I got to aply them, and - I repeat - I had to do it within my (almost none) equipment. So to finish all this "action/re-action" thing, I have to say that:
1 - I do agree with to fact that the mixing is more foccused on the guitars. It was supposed to have strong and loud guitars, but maybe - and I'm now bending to your opinions - not THAT loud.
2 - I believe the guitar sound (tone) is good enough for the kind of global sound SinDRomE wants to have as a band.
3 - I agree once again with the fact that the drums are weak, and I'd like all of you to present solutions to it. I want to stick with the V-drums. How can I make it sound stronger? And - if you're familiar with
Roland Td-10 sounds - how do I make the cymbals sound more real?
4 - The reason why I posted in more than one forum was because it was somehow related. I talked about the V-drums in the Drums forum, and about the fact that I only used Sonar, in the Cakewalf forum. Since I'm here to learn, I do not find my opinion relevant to others, 'cause as the pros already tagged me..."I suck and I have a super-ego". So based on that, I should't be giving opinions or I might get people badly elucidated.
5 - I never tried to put myself in the place of a pro, or even ompare myself to the - now known - wisdom of the pros around here. And I now value their opinion more than ever, since they are recognised here by being the best - or near.
6 - I find legitimate to over-rate my work before third parties when I'm - and I assume so - under that "first-ever-selfmade-production-with-almost-no-shit-to-hang-to" euphoria. And even the pros here have made their first production and even if it sucked as much as mine seems to suck, they were proud of it and probably over-rated them as well. No?
I might sound bitter when talking about the pros, and that only happens because I received opinions from all kinds of people and only the pros were so harsh and arrogant. I never was arrogant, I was excited, but them you all helped me to snap back to reallity.
I wish Blue Bear or other pro here could teach me some stuff, honestly, but after all this, I don't have the guts to ask for it. They think I'm idiot already and make all that "He-is-oh-so-stupid-and-self-involved" funny smileys.
I am reasonably satisfied with it, bearing in mind all the equipment I had in my hands and the fact that I played all instruments, but vocals.
Thanks for all the support and help

P.s.: By the way, just so that the pros can laugh a bit and make jokes about my country, some Portuguese radio stations are broadcasting some of the songs you heard. I don't think they find it "professional" but they found it at least capable of being broadcast. I like the overall result.
