Comments:

I used a very busy and syncopated beat full of shakers and congas to carry the song through transitions, ethnic background instruments like a mandolin and a salsa-sounding piano, and steel drums to create a mess of interlacing notes with the steel drums in the forefront supplying the main melody. I especially love the sax solo around 1:00. This mix took about 2 hours over 2 days, and is the first mix I've submitted.

I like the sound of this, as it has a distinct live feel to it, and it's mixed well enough that the weaker instrument samples are put in the background, but the arrangement is way to close to the original for my comfort level. It needs to be expanded upon and personalized more for it to be considered for OCR.

I like it, but it needs some additional arrangement work.

Yeah, good call hiding those guitars way in back with the piano. you know what's kind of wierd? You're hiding something else in the left channel that's some kind of percussion, but I can't even really identify it because it's so far back. What is that? I can tell it's there, but I have no idea what it is..ooooh okay at the end it's alone and sounds like a conga.

But anyway, I'm with OA. Too close to the original.

In addition to it being too close to the original, this also barely builds. It would nice to have the beat drive a little more after the first iteration rather than staying in the same gear. Sounds nice, but this needs more to it.

NO
