I think it sounds good. Very nice sounding MIDI guitar, and does have latin flavor. The percussion has a nice sound too, some hand-clap type sounds can be a bit irritating to me, but this is very pleasant, and fits well.

Best one yet Tom, well done!

Thanks for listening, Kenny!

Re the guitar - no MIDI here! :) Played by THE guitar pro - a well-known forum member and TAXI TV regular. He was so nice to throw me a few loops. I let you guess who it is. There is a hint hidden somewhere. :mrgreen:

Tom
Well that explains it. I didn't know you had help on that and I didn't think you played guitar, so I just assumed it was MIDI. Nice work.

Hi Tom!

Nice track! Well produced and arranged. My Only suggestion would be if you can increase the low end in the mix just a little bit, because comparing your track to Maluma's, thats the only thing i think is lacking of. Other than that i think you have a good track!

Cool stuff, very melancholy!

Reconsider the break 1:30. The main thread of the song gets lost there, and the guitar seems to be hanging in the air and like it loses the right beat as well. Fill it up, even if only sparsely.

Really nice. I wonder if rolling off some of the high end of the background guitar :24-1:01 would help that part sit back in the mix a bit more. Could be also a choice in the reverb, or eq the reverb to roll off the high end.

Hi Tom,
I still like the track but I'm sensing the bass end is now a little out of control compared with earlier versions, and I notice that in particular around the 1m mark. For me, although the bass seems to be the main culprit I think the guitar is also a bit weighty in the lows, but that's just my opinion. It'll be interesting to see whether others think the same.
