Tex Mex Instrumental

Post by LamarPecorino » Mon Dec 17, 2018 9:38 pm

Conrad Wilson and I have a Tex Mex instrumental for the following listing:

SOUTHWESTERN, DESERT-Style TEX-MEX INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very hard-working Music Licensing Company for a particular TV series. They’re looking for Down-to-Mid-Tempo Instrumentals. TAXI #Y181224TM

Let us know if you have any suggestions. Warning: If you develop a irresistible craving for Mexican food and a Margarita, blame Conrad! I gained 3 lbs while working on this track. ;)

Wonderful piece Lamar!

Looking at the wave file, is their an instrument causing those spikes?
Might need a bit of quick compression on the culprit...
Then you could bring up the Master a couple of Dbs

I would like to hear the bass instrument more upfront
seems a little too distant
a few more Db?

Thanks for listening, Cass. Your input is always valuable to me. I will tame the spikes and review the bass level. I was missing some of my go to plugins when creating this mix. Just received download links for them. I hope to have a better mix later today.
