Description: Come to Conway Studios for the premiere of Mix with the Masters featuring Andres Torres and Mauricio Rengifo! In this series of videos, the award-winning production duo takes a deep dive into the recording process of Luis Fonsi’s 2017 mega-hit “Despacito”. They talk about what it was like to hear a simple demo and the journey they took to create a wildly successful record that retained its cumbia roots while still appealing to the masses. They describe the recording process, comment on the creation of the song, and emphasize the importance of emotion over technique. They will show an extensive multitrack, analyze the arrangement, share their editing techniques and demonstrate how they apply effects. Discuss the process of recording vocals from both a technical and psychological point of view, and how they stimulate momentum and positivity in every session. Andres and Mauricio show how they create a competitive rough mix and detail their relationship with the mix engineer on this project, Jacen Joshua!
