Hi Tim:

I listened to your piece a few times, here's some ideas you might want 
to consider.

I think you're on the right track with regards to layering your 
instruments. However, you should take more time balancing the separate 
tracks. Right now the instruments aren't blending so well. The guitar is 
a little too far up front, and your other instruments need more 
attention to their relationship with the guitar part. I realize that 
you're excited by the possibilities opened up by this great software we 
have, but perhaps you should take more time with the details of your 
mix. Edits and retakes are parts of the creative process, you'll find 
and do new things as you go over your work with the proverbial 
fine-tooth comb.

Keep it up, send more stuff. :)

Best regards,
