Finally completed my first CD, I would call it more Spanish Fusion Instrumental. Just thought I would post it here and maybe get some feedback from the flamenco masters. This is more in the style of Rodrigo y Gabriela.

very nice, i love the pump and breathe compression on the percussion. gives it a dance rock feel which is really cool opposite the guitars. I also dig that you haven't chosen to drown everything in reverb. well done you! I like it.
keep me posted on the release. this would be something i'd be interested in. flamenco is getting....old for me.

Reverb is quite an interesting spice, easily exaggerated to save the flavor escaping a mundane recording. As with volume, basses and trebles, reverb and similar sound effects are critical ingredients when blending sound. It is not a task everyone can handle, and professional help can make such a difference. Any suggestion for the inexperienced sound engineers on the Foro?
On subject, Reinhardt I enjoyed your music, well done. Will you have your CD for sale through any digital-retail distributor other than your own site?
RE: My first CD(not Flamenco) more (... (in reply to Reinhardt)
Thanks alot for all your comments guys, you have no idea how much it means to me, you guys are a great inspiration!
@HemeolaMan Hi, thanks for your comment, im doing the final touchups for the mastering tommorow and ill begin to make copies but i dont know where to start putting songs up forsale internationaly, I have one or two covers and im afraid that ill get into trouble.
@Florian Thanks alot man! I had to empty my budget on this CD but things are picking up and im getting busy with local gigs! Glad you still remember that "making a living out of live music" thread :) Things have changed alot since then. Your a great inspiration florian thanks!
@gj Michelob Thanks for your positive feedback, I wish i know where to start to put these songs up for sale on the internet but i have one or two covers and im not sure about the copyrights ect. . . This cd is mostly just for selling at my local gigs and getting more exposure. otherwhise if you can point into the right direction that would be much appreciated!

Gj, would you actually like a reverb/recordign tutorial that goes more in depth than the one here on the foro?
Well, I unquestionably do need a tutorial and look forward to it… but for these limited purposes would you have any “golden rule” we should bear in mind when recording and mixing?

thats a good question...IMO ..i think for a flamenco guitar less is more
as minimal as possible with everything including reverb...( i have learned that from having 100 effects i wanted to try and every new plug in that came)
the more you add the more you mess with the natural beautiful resonance which is why we would listen to a flamenco guitar in the first place..
i almost never compress...but if i did...it would be minimal compression, minimal reverb, and minimal eq....thats it...mostly just eq and reverb
RE: My first CD(not Flamenco) more (... (in reply to Reinhardt)
first rule: never apply reverb to the inserts of the track. always create a separate fx channel to run in parallel (from the sends of the original track, not a bus). apply reverb to the effects channel and not the original. this will make things much better than reverbing the original signal
