Here is a cover of a great Chicago tune I did using Mixcraft 9.

Re: Acoustic Beginnings
Hi,
I just listened to your song. I have never heard the original, so I don´t have anything to compare with. First of all, that´s really great sax playing!
The acoustic guitar sounded great in the mix, but at the beginning I could hear that it was a virtual guitar. I think these virtual guitars are a bit tricky to get to sound realistic, although the soind itself is good, it´s more about the feel and timing.
The mix was good, the only thing I perhaps would have changed was the volume of the crash cymbals, perhaps a tad too high?
Otherwise, great performance.
Cheers/

Re: Acoustic Beginnings
Thanks for the tips. Yes, the acoustic guitar is a tough one. I play a little but not nearly good enough to pull off that intro. I've been playing sax professionally for over 30 years. I'll also check out the cymbal balance. Thanks!
