A very nicely written song with pretty good vocals. This should be an example for all other trackers to follow. Well-orchestrated percussion, great flute work for all of its short cameos, solid bass, and a catchy melody. The only (picky) criticism I have is that the brass sounds real fake, but if you're going for that small-band feeling with a guy playing a synth, it fits well. Technically, very competent. Style-wise, spot on. Congrats; you earned it.

Finally a piece that I actually enjoy judging :) An unoriginal tune in its genre, but as far as tracking goes, a VERY original choice of genre so its a good start :) Minor discrepancies that stuck in my mind: panning.. zzzzzz.. this tune could really be brought out so much more if panning had been a little more dramatic. 27 channels? although this tune has some complicated sections, Im not sure that 27 channels are really needed to bring out the details.. I can recall some dizzy tunes that had the same effect in 4 :).. I didnt really think the vocals were totally necessary although I will admit to them being catchy enough to stay on my mind for a long time.. you might want to give them a TINY touch of echo to make it sound a little more pro.. drum"solo" @ orders 31-33 shouldnt really be here, it felt as though it should come when the drums and bass are the only things going (like @ 33->)... noteworthy positives: the progression at orders 20-29 was EXACTLY like the entire song: "Autumn Leaves" by Coldcut on the TWO AD album which I LOVE so you got brownie points for that one... and the flute trill @ 33 rocked :) nice work...

Very original style, it's kinda rare with get some "Salsa/Dance/Latin" Modules. Cool vocals too. Kinda Catchy! :) Makes your foot tap! Watch out for the piano, it sounds weird sometimes. Very impressive technique. A strong entry. Very enjoyable.

Cool latin piece. Clear and precise orchestration gives this piece a crisp feel. The piano though could have been a little quieter as it over dominates the foreground. The tune sounds a little too general midi, mainly because of the execution and the sounds of the instruments. The Brass I feel had too much staccato. The piano in the bridge also was too staccato'd, use of Envelopes and perhaps NNA's or volume slides to make the piano sound more realistic. A real piano doesn't just cut when another note is played. There's a slight resonance even if the notes are not held. This also contributes to the General midi sound. Panning could have been better. The panning was using default positions a little left and right of middle alternating each channel. Use of IT's features like Pitch Pan Separation, and Pan Swing would have given a better effect. Volume swing is also good in tunes like this where chords and repeating accompliment are used, as they provide a more 'human' feel to it. Other than that, a good tune, catchy and reasonably original as tracked music goes.

This tune is great. Itīs not my taste at all, but it is outstanding an perfect in all ways.

latin style tune - vocal lines - good and solid production - brass samplees could be better
