Hi all,
so after what seems like ages I finished another song for you to criticise. After working on my band's stuff I needed a break from mixing. Remind me never to mix Progressive Rock again...
Anyway, I'm no expert in latin music but I occasional visit a world beat party to have some fun and to forget about my rock background for a while. I also had some deep thoughts about "world music" while writing my master thesis. It was interesting to revisit these thoughts while mixing this tune.
My main problem here was the fact, that the tracks seemed not to belong together at first listen. It surely needs some getting used to the instrumentation, but mostly it needed the mixer's best friend: balance (and some reverb and compression...).
So with my European ears, that know nothing, this is what I came up with.
Cheers
Artbass
