Alejo Granados "Rumba Chonta"
#3
Hi Dave, been listening to both mixes and first one is a relatively clear winner for me; shaker and hand percussion being given prominence enough over drums, while on the second mix you have more of the drumkit parts, plus more of that syncopated conga hit (kinda the ugly one) and less shaker, so in the end it's like almost every percussion part has similar weight, coming to breathlessness (is that a word?) and confusion. Second mix feels more finished and produced, but the first one is making me move. Also, second electric guitar is too low on the second mix. Maybe some of that tape treatment could help smooth out the congas of the first mix and help them to glue a little more, but without changing balances.

And bass sounds really great here in cansland (ATH-M50x, btw), while I seriously screwed up with it on mine. So I say yay, have a nice weekend!
