Personal Note:
I've been posting quite often, but that's only because I was off the forum for 4+ years, and I have quite a few projects that just needed finishing. I wouldn't want anyone to think that I'm a fast worker--just the opposite--usually months as WIP before I have something to post.

Very lively salsa, and fun to listen to. Like the brass arrangement a lot, that SalTito style is quite nice. Me gusta!

Nice short salsa, but it could have been better had the mix not been uneven.

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi, Tom.

That was quick! laugh (The song, not necessarily the time it took to write).

Fun listen.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Yes, great job on the MIDI. Are you using Kontakt horns, or Session Horns (or something else)? Nice touches here and there add up to an engaging piece. Salud!

Wow!

That is an engaging vibe especially with the vibes smile
Nice work with all the tracks ... the horns are standout.

We always enjoy a nice open mix like this.

Maybe short but we'd guess a good bit of thought and time went into this arrangement.

Enjoyed it!

Man, you are a fast worker, Tom. wink I still think that. Man, I knew I was gonna dig this one. Love Latin music, and the title told me i was in for a treat. Yeah, I like the groove,. but more importantly how you developed it. Very engaging arrangement.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Tom, this is deceptively brilliant. By that, I mean this: it sounds so simple to do, it AIN'T. You make it seem so easy, in other words. Well done. The intricacy of the melodies, I love. The ending was a little sudden, but it definitely left me wanting more. Great job! smile

Marty/BYOBand/M17.. thanks for listening..BIAB did most of the heavy lifting... the midi additions i made followed the rhythmic patterns from the style.
