Hey again,
This is a Latin Jazz group I recorded a demo for recently. Comments and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
You'll find the file in the mpg folder, called latin.mpg
Also, I'm still looking for a better place to stick these files....

Whoops....
It's really not an mpg, it's just an mp3. Sorry for the confusion, it must be late....

Re: Latin Jazz
i think it's cool...the cowbell and the ride comes through a little too much here at work...and could use a bit more conga throughout...i have the same conga complaints on a lot of latin recordings though.
i love the latin jazz...mongo, puente and palmieri in particular...this recording sounds more modern ala sanchez stuff and mellow like that cal tjader (sp?) guy...probably on the money for what they wanted so cool...sounds great to me...any stories on how your recorded it would be cool to hear for me. i've always wanted to do a latin band...

Re: Latin Jazz
Thanks for the feedback on the recording. To record this, I used the following mics:
Kick - D112
Snare - SM57
Wood Block - SM57
OH - SM81
Congas - 2 SM57's
Bass - DI
Piano - DI
Trumpet - Sennheiser 421
The conga player overdubbed some percussion with a SM57 as well.
Everyone was in the same room with headphones and I had some gobos around the set. Tracked to an iZ RADAR 24 using the mic preamps from a Souncraft 600. Mixed down to Masterlink 9600.
I think the bell and the cymbals were a bit hot, and the conga could have been more present. I'm not sure I liked the overall stereo image either. I tend to split congas about 75% L/R and the same with other percussion. I should probably put both congas to one side, then percussion on the other...oh well. Thats why we keep doing this
Thanks again,
Roy
