Repetative, no change through out, unmusical, irritating and nothing remotely latin about it. Sorry to be so blunt but yeah I felt there was no point sugar coating and deceiving you about something that is that bad. Anyways I wouldn't worry about it we've all made many poor tunes that when you listen back to them you cringe. Again sorry. :-)

Anyone feeling yo :-( - open to comments good or bad? :-)

yeah not into this one really...don't think the whole latin thing is really working here and it sounds a bit cheap - ie the actual sounds used sound like stock GM sounds or something... also not much seems to happen so gets a bit boring.

Oh well - I feel sad now :( Gonna try another latin inspired tune 'cause I wanna crack this vibe!

I don't know what these guys were talking about, i thought it was reallllly bad. It's not. The start is weak and it definitely doesnt sound like a 5 years work, but its not bad.

Thanks mate - that put a smile on my face. I'm gonna have a play with it tomorrow. Open to suggestions for improvement. Safe.

It thought it was really bad before listening to it because of the feedback

so cheesy. it has some quality in that, not that bad if you listen to it in a ceephax funny tune vibe.

run with it man, make it more so or something

I agree with Kanakori that the start is weak, and I think that first impressions are really important. Excuse me for being blunt but I think the percussion is really annoying. I would loose it altogether and develop another rythmic support to this track. I am not just saying this, I really think that the track would improve greatly if you did. I think I would even choose for a relatively sombre arrangement for the drums because currently it really downplays some of the good elements that are in the track.

I also would not emphasize the label 'latin' here. I think it raises te wrong expectations and I believe that the weak parts in this song are mostly those elements that are supposed to create the latin feel.

reminded me a bit of this guy

What? It isn't that bad really. And the drums sound good to me and I like the latin feel in the rhythm.

The synths though are maybe a bit up front in the mix? They kinda pop out and are too clear over the background at least when I'm listening with headphones. At least before 1:20 mark.

This sounds nothing like latin music. I think you either need to grow up listening to salsa, merengue, samba, what have you...in order to develop some knowledge on latin rhythms, melodies AND harmony!

That and the fact the sounds sound like straight out of Fruity Loop´s LSD. The vocal rhythms at 1:30 sound pretty cool, I´ll give you that.

lol

it has some unholy elements, but not bad at all, the part from 1:24 is really good. you could push much more out of the whole thing.

My inspiration was kinda Azymuth and to lesser extent the music
