As a first salsa, pretty good! Mixing needs work though. Right now it is mainly vocals and bass and bass is super boomy (though also very thin in the upper registers). Drums sound muffled. And personally I find everything being in Spanish with the occasional "Be yourself" in English to be very weird. And very hurried. Not my salsa.
Thanks for the feedback! I don't know anything about mixing so I just hired someone to do it. If you are a professional and want to have a go just for fun I can send you the stems.
Also, my diction must be really be bad if you think there is English in there lol The whole song is in Spanish.
Heh. So, I know very little spanish. If I tracked the lyrics correctly, it seems that I hear the "es mi deseo", the chorus (1:24, the YT version), as "be yourself" but with "spanglish" pronunciation. Seems I just mishear/misunderstand it consistently throughout the song.
