    Unfortunately, for me,  I lost all my knowledge of speaking Spanish when my parents moved back to Canada.  Fortunately, that did not stop me from enjoying this song.  Your vocals and harmonies are very good!  I also can appreciate the guitar work.   This song was very well done and a listening pleasure.

    Thank you very much, freddy j, for your words.

    I missed your first version, not sure if you redid the vocals but hey good for you making do with what you had at the time (cell phone only). Its a good song and a good message.  I would have the vocals a little more up front in the mix, they are a little soft in style and presence, and the ending could fade a little better at the very very end, otherwise my feedback is all good ! Enjoyed it.

    Hello dear friend, thank you for the message. In the first version I uploaded, I think I recorded the voices with my cell phone, this time I recorded them with a microphone of a certain quality, although not very expensive.
    I understand that you say that the voices are low in volume, but I did it on purpose, because I don't like how my voice turns out, I'm not a great singer, and I don't like the bass parts at all, that's why I don't want to give it too much presence. I wish I had a better voice 🙂

    Sincerely!

    Nio

    Very pleasant piece, not sure if the new version is up yet or not, great playing and energy. More drum volume would be good I think. 

    I take note from your suggest. In the last version that I uploaded last Monday I corrected the drums a bit, anyway, the concise mix will be done when all the parts of the song are completed, including the lyrics of the melody, the verse, and some other arrangement which, surely, I will add.

    Now I'm waiting to see if I can think of some lyrics for this melody that I have recorded (the chorus). What I fear the most is when it comes to singing it, my voice is limited and I'm not sure if it works well with this musical style, we'll see .. 🙂


    Thanks for your words treesha.
    All the best

    I think the drums might improve with a tiny bit of EQing. Try a small boost around 7k on the snare, and also a boost somewhere between 10k-15k on the cymbals to help brighten them up a little.

    I did it, you right,  sound is better now 🙂

    Thank you brother..

    Tomorrow update the outline in bandcamp..

    Fun song.  Did I hear a banjo?  You need a really, really good hooky chorus and you'll have a great song.


    yes, although I had thought that this melodie would be the chorus..

    You  abother question: No banjo my friend, just the electric guitar and nylon.

     

    Thank you 🙂

    Certainly a toe-tapper - I enjoyed that!

    Great playing too. The mix is good, but I think the drums might improve with a tiny bit of EQing. Try a small boost around 7k on the snare, and also a boost somewhere between 10k-15k on the cymbals to help brighten them up a little. It's just a suggestion though - no need to adjust if it's not what you're after.

    Hi, thanks for your tips, like I said, it's just a sketch and there's a lot to do.
    I take note of your subjection I think they are correct ... 🙂

    No problem, and thanks!

    The guitar playing is great, but I thought the tone could use more upper eq "air" . . . like it was recorded with a blanket over the amp or something. Could be the choice of microphone?

    That's perhaps a hard comment to translate! I don't want you to think I didn't like it, I did!

     

     

    I recorded the guitar solo without an amp, I plugged the guitar directly into an old beheringer multi-effects, and from there to the audio card and cakewalk. The truth is that I'm not totally convinced of the solo's sound, but hey, I think I'll just leave it as it is.

    Thanks again for your comments, they always enrich

    That was pretty great and reminded me of Rush, the cool rhythms and parts, but that's probably just my problem.  :)

    You have a great voice and those vocal blends with bgv sound very legit and pro. Well done!

    The guitar work is fabulous and powerful for sure, but I got a little set back from the tone, which could do with maybe a bit more high end? The bite got muffled a bit, for me.

    very very good, thanks for posting!

     

    cheers,

    Thank you for your kind words, it is very comforting to hear them, although I did not want them to create too much vanity 🙂

    There is something that I do not understand, my mother tongue is Spanish and I am not fluent in English.
    It's this: "I got a little set back from the tone, which could do with maybe a bit more high end? The bite got muffled a bit, for me."

    I didn't actually notice anything wrong with it - it felt quite natural that as the tempo slowed down a bit, that the instruments thinned out a little also to indicate a winding down of the song. It is different from the pace of the rest of the song, but not in a bad way.

    Thank you my friend, I appreciate your words.
    It is true that in the end I lowered the tempo 🙂

     Nio , personally I Loved the ending. For me it was Perfect. Fantastic lead guitar playing. I think the left guitar in the beginning of the song got a little loud , it was swelling up too much in spots. Your Great vocals could also be brought up in the beginning. When the song got heavier , about 1:20  the mix was Very nice. I loved the Spanish feel in the strong intro section and the really quick flamenco part.  This was wonderful to listen to , not even knowing what you were singing about.   Very impressed ..   mark

    Thanks Mark for your words. I have to confess that the short solo (chopped), of flamenco guitar, not mine, is a sample, the rest is, of course.

    As for the guitar, at that time my guitar had a mass noise that annoyed me a lot, it still has it, although less loud.

    The problem that I see in the end is that it gives me the feeling that something is missing, some more instrument, perhaps an organ or another guitar.
    But hey, I did this song several years ago and I don't think I'm going to play it anymore. 🙂
