DADDY YANKEE RELEASES BREAST CANCER SONG WITH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND AWARD-WINNING PRODUCER, ECHO

daddy+yankee

Daddy Yankee has achieved one of his dreams.
Daddy Yankee has always wanted to record with the Puerto Rican symphony orchestra.  With the talents of award-winning producer/engineer, Echo, he’s finally done it.  The two have worked toether many times in the passed and that work has given rise to many well know songs.  It’s a friendship and working relationship that goes back years.
The Puerto Rican superstar has released “Yo Contra Ti” – a song about fighting against breast cancer.
He says it was emotional to meet cancer patients and work on lyrics all at the same time, and that he learned so much in the process.
“Yo Contra Ti” is A Daddy Yankee song about breast cancer in collaboration with the Puerto Rican symphony orchestra to provide support the Susan G. Komen organization of Puerto Rico.  A cause very dear to his heart.
Echo In The Mix
Together with Miami based three-time Latin Grammy winning producer Echo, of The Echo Team, this amazing and heart-wrenching song incorporated Urban grooves with symphonic backgrounds.  A daunting undertaking to say the least.  In our interview with Echo, he told Back Stage Indie Report that one of the most challenging thing about working with a full orchestra is “properly setting the microphones to capture the beauty of the symphony without creating “phase” issues.  Sound waves that are out of phase can cancel out some frequencies and cause other anomalies”.  Once the tracking was completed in Puerto Rico, Echo flew immediately to LA to finalize the mix.  After several 20 hour days at the mixing board, he turned the lights off in the studio for the last time.  Within 8 hours the music video dropped and the world was experiencing “Yo Contra Ti”.  Within 12 hours there were over 1 Million views.  Look quick at the DJ in the music video and you will see Echo making a cameo appearance.

A LOOK AT ANTELOPE AUDIO’S ORION 32+ BY 4X LATIN GRAMMY WINNING PRODUCER “ECHO” ” …with the Antelope Orion 32+ AD/DA Converter, I can have nothing in-between the music and beautiful, authentic sonic clarity.” – Echo see bio below Having just moved to a new home this year, my thoughts immediately turned to the construction of my home project studio.  I have used every major Miami studio facility, as well as national and international state-of-the-art facilities for producing artists.  This including  Mor Play Studios  in the famous Wynwood arts district area of Miami where I am a partner.  At Mor Play Studios we use the Antelope Audio’s Orion as the I/0 for the SSL XL desk.  Now, with my youngest daughter tuning five, I wanted to work from home when I could.  However, I needed to keep the projects at that high level of the major recording studios that my artists and the labels demand.  Having a structure on my property that was ideal for this build, I retained some top stud

SOMETHING DIFFERENT… THE FOCAL SHAPE 65 STUDIO REFERENCE MONITOR REVIEW! In a world brimming with studio reference monitor companies, it can be difficult to separate true innovation from marketing gimmicks without really digging in deep.  Digging deep is what we at  Back Stage Indie Report  wanted to do because the  Shape 65 by Focal  has a plethora of new and different approaches to the audio loud speaker.  It all started when I asked several producers and engineers that I know through Back Stage Indie Report, what studio monitors I should look at for our studios?  Though our 15-year-old Mackie 824’s had served us well, it was time to upgrade to newer technologies.  I was surprised and heartened by how many responses came back with the same brand, “Focal”.  Ok… sooo there was a bit of consensus.  But, was this just the latest hype product?  You know how these things take off with the force of zeitgeist alone. …Fast forward 3 months.. . I was at the  AES  show  in New York
