It certainly has the busy vibe of classic
The guitar comes in a little loud and slightly above, (in head phones), the backing.
I think the guitar off to the right has a very similar top range and they seem to compete a bit.
When the kit comes in it seems a little loud in the toms over on the left.
Who & what is what?
It's a cool song- might need some adjustment to levels.


Cheers

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

Dear 'cubanpete'...

Lemme guess the genre/Real Style you used: 'son', or a close relative such as 'son montuno' ??? Something Afro-Cuban, at the very least ???

Regardless, Oye mi Canto is hot, hot, hot, rhythmically, melodically, and instrumentally (ooo-OOO, that trumpet solo !!!). The percussion track(s) alone generate enough high-energy excitement to keep the composition operating in a state of M.M.M. -- maximum musical motion -- from its 'all in' beginning to its unfairly abrupt ending -- you pulled the plug too soon !!! smile.

Now, you gotta create another composition quickly to pick up where Oye mi Canto left off, 'cubanpete' laugh.

"Manten la musica tocando" (I hope the English-to-Cuban translation is accurate !!!)

Nice work - I like that it sounds busy without being overbearing. Loved the groove, and though that trumpeting solo worked perfectly.

Thanks for sharing smile

That was fun.
Liked the vibe and the arrangement.
Oh, how I was hoping a female vocalist would com in.......That would take it over the top for me.
Nice!

I heard your song and I like your song. Great rhythm section! The Django style guitarist fits perfectly and that trumpet was cool.


I went line dancing last night. Well it was a roadside sobriety test, same thing.

Mike,

Very fun tune!
Multiple rhythms such as calypso, salsa and bossa are mixed to create a unique mood.
The guitar and the trumpet ad lib match this song very well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

"Busy" when done right is good!

And this is a great example of that with so
many cool things happening all through
the production.

Syncopationus maximus. Lovely stereo spread and lead sections. The trumpet was great, but I liked the guitar that followed even more. Much enjoyed.
