    Listen to the music above, it could help you to improve!
    I know Spanish language good enough, but i prefer to comment in English:
    – The melody is good
    – The second guitar @ 1:39 and 3:50 is great but should/could sound more present (maybe adding a soft reverb).
    – The drums/percussion are not matching the tempo in some parts
    – The voice is a bit deep or not present enough
    – Mix lacks in dynamics, sounds a bit too flat
    – You could add a light Synthesizer Pad in some repeating parts
    – Adding a second voice or choir effect could make it sound fuller

    Saludos - Cook

    Bueno amigo @Cook te lo ha dicho todo, no hagas mucho caso del ejemplo del último de la fila, son arreglos de gran estudio realizados por Pedro Javier Gonzalez que es uno de los grandes en este estilo. No hay nada mejor que esto.
    Intenta algo mas intimista, cuida la afinación en voz y solos y busca armonías menos previsibles. je,je que fácil es decirlo. Adelante amigo!

    Hola! Hay ademas algo en el kick Bass drum que parece demasiado presente.
    Yo aplicaria un filtro "highpass" para redondear estas frecuencias altas.
    Al mismo tiempo bajar algunas bajas frecuencias en la voz le permeteria mas brillantez.
    :winker:

    I agree with @Kookaboo about adding a second voice or choir effect to fill it out and maybe add some dynamics.

    Or what about a nice string pad coming in as the track progresses ?

    Overall though I really liked and enjoyed listening to the track and would enjoy hearing more :) . My Spanish is 'muy pocito' so I would be interested to know what you are singing about :)

    I also hear what @Trevor Gordon alluded to......a couple of phrases did bring Dire Straights to mind.... but that's good ! :like:
    :goodpost: :thanks:

    Nice and clean mate I like it. The drums seem a fraction late, maybe just nudge them left a little. Bass could be thicker too, rbass from waves is good, or slate has some stuff to help. Vocals could use some space, either a reverb, delay or why can't we have both? :)

    But I'm nitpicking its a great track. Gj

    Thanks, yes i need to put attention to all the details in the mix, i think great mixes are a bunch of small good decisions, also fun and unique techniques, like you said why can't we have both? Hehe! im totaly agree friend. Again thank you for the time,I appreciate very much your opinion.
