Proximal Vicinity Short Bus Mixing Comp - Fixxxer

Hey man, I'm enjoying listening to this one! As far as the mixing goes, I think you did a really nice job, with an emphasis on the cinematic nature of the original. I did however have to turn my system up quite a bit to hear all elements properly, thus I think it could be mastered a little more powerfully. You have a lot of headroom, which I suppose would be good for a film (hence cinematic), but if I were doing a song for a film I would use the headroom more fully and allow whoever is arranging the soundtrack to lower it based on what else was going on in the film. I guess my preference is generally to be able to listen at a normal volume on my system and hear everything clearly, while still having the option to turn it up when I want it loud. The above is just personal opinion, and should be taken as such. I feel like you did excellent work blending the elements!

Hey Fixxxer, like Simon says, nobody will kick you for this effort. You really did clean things up a bunch. The biggest challenge in this mix was the sheer number of instruments trying to occupy the same space, especially the guitars. I think you did a good job cleaning up the majority of the mud. And I like the way you emphasized the woodwind at the end as well.

Overall, I would say you rose to the challenge and produced a really nice mix and master. Well done my friend. I thank you for participating and your support. I hope all is well.

Its exactly about the taking part and growing and also widening our experiences.

I like your take, nice and chill and I like you picked up on the woodwind melody at the end, really makes for the build.

If I was to offer advice, it would be to clean up the guitars. I would remove everything below 200Hz as there is already so much going on down there in the rest of the track the guitars adding to it muddies things a little.

Really good job, nobody is kickin you nowhere with that effort :)
