What do you need, as far as source material? Honestly, I think a new set of ears would do nicely and it would definitely be as interesting, for me, as it would be appreciated.

Its quite nice at a first quick listen.

The first track is lacking bass, I like the atmospheric and trippy effects.

Second track is better, liking all those phasored wowing sounds. The track has a very nice progression, and the beat is nice. 16.00 is awesome.

Again I agree with the others, the highs are too dominant.

the track at 30.00 got some nice pianos, but the sound is honestly a mess. The track got huge potential arrangement-wise, so you should try to use it

44.00 is much better. Nice bassline, also the sound is much cleaner than in the previous songs.

I'm liking how the album evolves towards the end.

Despite all the criticism about the sound, I got to mention that in terms of cohesion this is really a great album. It was a wise decision to mix the album because the stuff flows so well. I've heard some albums by professional producers or mix sets by known DJs that tell no story at all.

Thanks for sharing, always happy to hear full albums!

Hey, thanks for the kudos and the feedback on the mix.

One of the benefits to working it out in the sequencer was that I got to take those certain elements out of whole mixes and loop them to create that cohesion you referred to. It literally became turning two songs into a third, in parts. That, unfortunately, was also one of the draw-backs.

The system I'm on, currently, is ghetto Pentium 4, stock-sound-card with only the benefit (at the time it was finalized) of Altec Lansing computer speakers and sub, in my bedroom. For what I was able to achieve, it was great, but I've learned a hell of a lot since then and, even with the same system, there are definitely some things I'd do differently.

Alright... I wasn't able to spend as much time on this as I wanted because one of my monitors is crapping out on me. It shuts off whenever it wants. It's under warranty and I'm taking it in soon. But I think the mix sounds a lot better. I boosted the highs and enhanced the stereo imaging... also smoothed it out a little bit and did what I could with the bass. I wanted to preserve as much dynamic as possible so I didn't crush it with the limiter... as a result it's kinda on the quiet side, but sounds pretty good. I wanted to EQ each track individually but I'm not able to take on a project like that with a crap monitor. I put a blanket EQ on the whole thing and hoped for the best.

If you think that then you'd be disagreeing with the others.

Not bad. I'm actually impressed with what was accomplished with the source material you utilized in addition to the equipment problems you were having. You managed to cut a lot of the mid-range noise that I think I may have grown a little too used to. I'm a little astonished at how bad that was. All of the instrumentation is nice and clear, too. A tailored approach you were discussing, where-by you approach each track, individually, may have allowed for a bit more precision but the EQ blanket really did the track more justice than I expected.

If I decide to pursue a remastering from the source material, this will definitely, definitely be used as a reference bench-mark. At this point, however, such a pursuit may be superfluous.

Thank you, very much!

I would love to see the track that starts around 27:00 to be redone. Really good stuff.

That's one of my favorites, too. I actually made that out of clips from the last song's dub, that I spliced together and then added a bass-line and drum backing too, within the source file for the whole mix. I actually am thinking of pulling that out and doing a re-work, anyways. You pretty much validated the proof of concept for that.

Thanks.
