MIX ARCHIVE!!!

Yes sir, Ziptnf does it again.

Listening to this, not done yet but its amazing so far

At around 16:00 minutes in, the keys clashing against each other is quite unpleasant, im sure you'll pick it up now that I've mentioned it, keep in mind im not usually a key Nazi. Another one at 32minutes.

Im trying to figure out how you could mix this much better, my answer is overlapping much harder and longer(mydick), which will require much more dedication, but worth the effort in creating something spectacular. Most people wont be listening to this mix for the mixing but rather the tunes of course. Of course your views can be different so consider it an alternation to be fair, and this mix is still awesome as most people will tell you here.

It was a bit tiring to listen to it here and now, just a personal preference here. A lot of the tracks were amazing, great job for finding them :3 Koan - Selena's Song (Blue Mix) is incredible, ill be listening to this for a while.

Honestly, I was worried people would think I was a little lazy with the mixing. I normally don't even attempt to match keys. I probably should have considered that for a mix like this in which each track has different keys and different speeds. I just kinda tried to blend each track in the intros/outros to play it safe and keep the mix moving. I think some transitions worked, but some didn't. Unfortunately, that's a bit of a crux of mine. I'll try to blend tracks that just won't blend for the sake of the overall sound and flow.

Yeah, I love that track. I'm glad I included the track from Asura as well. I've been sitting on that one for a while The most interesting is probably the Phutureprimative remix since I saw him live and he was just straight up dubstep/psystep and didn't know he had a soft side :3

Thanks again for listening. It has received good reviews on Facebook as well.

Im the same as you, I dont key any of my stuff, and I dont attempt to match keys, but I just try to avoid clashes like the plague, usually lol.

Yeah, man. I like creating themes around all my mixes. Only recently have the names and images been matching up to the content.

Finally got around to listen to this! Very nice soothing atmo throughout, kudos.

One thing I will mention however, is the transition between the 2nd and third tune. I just think that there was a sudden change of pace, if you will. Not sure if I liked how sudden it felt, kinda felt off. Just something I noticed.

Hey mane I appreciate the listen. The intro into Epsilon is indeed a little rough. It was a fine tune for the purpose of the mix, but there is no ambient part of the track that could help me out in terms of transitioning. That's one of those moments where I was a little forced to ignore tempo and key for the sake of fitting a track where I wanted it.
