Knock You Off Your Feet - Pop with Latin Love

Only downside is the length. Luckily it clearly is done by musically talented guys so it is still a pleasure to listen to. Mix sounded balanced. I find it hard to concentrate for more than 3 mins.

Very entertaining as are all of your works. I think this is the first Latin song I've heard from you.

You are probably right Whack. And because you have lyrics in the song you might actually have to make the song longer to get the message through or something like that. I have actually made a 5 minutes tune in the early days but I later shortened it to 4 minutes. Unfortunately I forgot where I had put it. And of course it was in my phone. But it was bit of a mess anyway that song I don't know what the song structure of that tune even is. Then again my knowledge of music theory is not so good. It was that Strings and beats tune which unfortunately didnot get many listens. Although it might have been a good thing because like I said it was a bit strange. But I still liked it (probably because I made it because and I kind of give mercy to my many song making mistakes). BTW a stupid question; is it so that a song must have singing or talking in it and a tune must not have singing or talking in it? :-) I have always envied those who actually have singing in their songs because the human voice is or can be the most beautiful instrument.

Guys, Thanks for listening and for your comments. Your words always help to improving the next mix/track or song.
I don't think the song is long at all.
 
Kakku, The impro intro is about a minute and after that is a couple of verses, pre-choruses, a bridge and a a few choruses, everything that you would hear in a song :) Could of gone for the full pop ending and key changed up a tone on the last chorus ;)
 
Tom, There is a touch of Verb on the accordion. I didn't want to swap it, tried to keep some of it's rawness. Mixing wise, wasn't too bad to do this time, I must be getting better at mixing 'songs'. There are a few things that I would mix differently, but I wanna move on to the next piece...
 
Lasse, The bass is a little distorted, It's a mix of a clean bass sound and an amped one. The intro, I just pictured some musicians mucking around in a courtyard, stomping their feet and moving around before bring the song together. 
 
Agreed, Cian is brilliant with the high notes :) and always great fun working with. Also an extremely good song writer. 
:)
 
 

you're a very diverse musician and producer, Cian!  other than your voice I'm not sure I could listen to a bunch of songs and pick out yours just because I thought they sounded like your "style" because your "style" is so diverse!
 
this is very interesting - the horns and strings sound like they're in a completely different place from everything else.  would like to hear the bass a little more, the tambo seems a little too high in the mix, IMO.
 
as always, your vox are killer!  nice piano.
 
just my thoughts!
 
great work!

Daryl, Perhaps there is a different reverb/delay on the vox vs the instrumentation, I can touch base with Russ on that. Also maybe there is a delay that is not quite synced with the host bpm.
 
Beagle. Im not sure if having a diverse style is good as an artist however. Handy for a producer role for sure. Vocal and piano are my bread and butter so glad they came through anyway.
 
Rimshot, your spectrum pointers maybe right. Although Im not sure your song references are totally correct as they are more digital dance floor pop. This is a little more organic and classical, thats not to say mixed like those songs it wouldn't sound awesome!
 
Thanks lads,
 
Cian
 
 

Hi Jesse,
 
Welcome to the forums.
 
Your comment is as valuable as all the rest, if not more, since you are looking at the song from a customer point of view, which is most important to me. Mixing and production come second to the song in my opinion.
 
I wrote and performed the basic template of this track and got russ (Above) to help produce it. He has added most of the classical orchestration on this and rhythm, plus all mixing etc The project I gave to him was pretty bare compared to this. I love his intro the track that he created that really sets the mood.
 
Thanks,
 
Cian
