it's 8:34 Am here, I'm listening to your mix and my hips are moving... of course, at this time of the morning, I haven't had any rum at all :-D but your mix made me move!!

By the way, I love that bass!!

Thanks Juan! Finally a Latin beat, a real Colombian rhythm, one of the pillars of Colombian music is this Rumba Chonta, which comes from the Colombian Pacific, a pleasure to do this mix as flavorful.
Thanks for listening.

Hi,

your mix (#2) sounds a bit confused to me. The instruments don't seem to be part of one big piece of music. Now this may come from the way the tracks were recorded (I'm working on a mix of this song as well and it is a big issue to me).

I don't have any serious experience with this kind of music, though.

Cheers

Dear, in this the predominant style of music or the "song" is marimbas, accompanied by a large environment percussion and bass, guitars in second order, and the great seal of marimbas with saxophones.
note the hi hat and "banter" that mark the cadence of rhythm with the bass.

once you do this and move to the beat of the music and rhythm, is that these well underway.
Greetings!

I don't doubt that you know this style, not at all. But as a listener I don't want to be told how to listen to the music by an external instruction. It has to be in the mix and I don't seem to be able to get that from your mix, yet.

But then there is one of Mixerman's "rule to better mixing": "If the mix doesn't somehow, and in some way, annoy someone in the room, the mix likely isn't done." Perhaps I'm someone today

Thanks Jaques!!!


I think for this kind of rhythm, it should Latin blood in his veins.
Nothing better than that.

Your work is also very good, and have a good feeling in them

A comment from yet another non latino, but Ive played with great musicians from brazil, so I know a little about southamerican music ...
I miss the groove - the low end. Ine o the guys I playd with playd a wonderful bass, and always wanted the "bas to be strong" when we mixed, and it helped a lot havin a biig 12 channel Yamaha live mixer with wonderful preamps, it made that bas sound big.

I am downloading the piece now, and will see if i can put my vision to real life sound. Its in my head but there are knobs to be twisted first.

Another thing, which has nothin do with the mixer, is the tuning, many of the instruments are fixed tuned, and so is a problem when mixin with othr instruments maybe tuned to a digital tuner instead of the instruments ...

The sound is great, just me not understanding the lvls.
