HI
I am new to recording, I only retired recently so I decided to get a laptop and some software and have a go at some tunes that had been running around in my head.
I have 3 almost completed but I am at a loss when it comes to mixing down. Not sure if I have the ear for it and I have no idea about where to sit things in the mix etc. I have tried to read as much as possible but there is no substiture for advice from someone with a bit of experience.
I have uploaded a rough mix of my first finished track to my space and was wondering whether anyone with an Idea of what they are acually doing would give it a listen and give me some pointers

Thats the link to the tune, its called "The Last Day". I recorded it using Cakewalk Sonar 8
I used session drummer 3 for the drums, Organized trio for the hammond parts
Edirol Orchestral for the strings, and true piano for the piano parts
I used a strat for the quiet guitar parts and a peavey EXP signature for the heavier guitars, all going through Line 6 gear box
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated
