What I really like about this mix is that you added some interesting little ideas that we haven't heard before...really refreshing offer!:)

Compliments and good luck______Orlando

Regardless the title, this symphony won't be forgotten so easily...excellent work!!:)

Compliments_____Orlando

I really like the pitched up piano and everything else in this mix is also more than solidly done!:)

Compliments_____Orlando

I have to agree with Joe...very close to original with clear and powerful sound. Everything is well balanced as well...

Compliments____Orlando

Yes, I have to agree...this is really cool chill out effort and furthermore I think that vocals fit in quite nicely.:)

Compliments_____Orlando

As you see I've put slashes between possible issues to make it questionable...ok, there's no clipping then...but what about other two options ?

Orlando

I can only echoe what Bear and Spiv already said and this could have been easily among Top 5 in my books if it wansn't for some inexplicable harshness/distortion/clipping in the last movement, particulary on the right chanel...May I suggest you to listen to it again very carefully and possibly fix the issue...there's still enough time:)...but overall excellent job !:)

Compliments and good luck_____Orlando

This is quite a bit of improvement over previous versions, particulary in the stereo field (if my ears don't fool me^^)
and in the end of the day this is more than solid entry and probably among the best ones.

Congrats_____Orlando

Not really weird at all, maybe just a bit unconventional approach, but hey, that's good news in my books...was great fun to listen.:)

Tjena SJ,

Nice to see you around again and it's good to know you're still making some music and furthermore improving your skills on things you mentioned...
This one reminds me incredibly on Bronski Beat style regardless of female vocals....anyways, you did a good job again so take some sincere compliments from

Orlando

Hello Kevin...first I have to say it's great you have decided to join the competition and I think all this is not so much about winning or being the best in town, but more about learning and improving mixing and mastering skills through exchanging views, ideas and experiences of fellow Loopermates and at the end of the day it's also about simply having fun.:)
You're asking what you're doing wrong...as a complete amateur myself (you can also call me noob, hehe)I just don't feel competent to tell you whether you're doing something wrong or right...I can only tell what my ears and senses tell me, or how I percieve your take on this task...
I must say the beginning is very promissing...clear and bright sounding piano impresses me, as well as just the right amount of reverb... but the transition to acoustic guitars is frankly quite messy and it's probably the most questionable part on the entire track (at the same time I envy you exactly that part cause I wouldn't know how to do it mysef even if I wanted to...lol)...For the rest of the track I would say there's too much emphasis on higher frequency range on one side and obvious lack of lower range on the other, which is even more evident in the third movement. Despite aforementioned shortcomings I still consider this as a clean mix in it's own way and I can only
congratulate you for making your own contribution to this contest.:)

All the best_____Orlando

What a wonderful laid back vibe you created here...excellent acoustic guitar playing (is this you playing?)..this could easily fit under "chill out" category, but "ambient" fits as well...afteral the music itself is the most important in the end and this is an exquisite one.:)

Hat's off and respect____Orlando

How could I overlooked this one before...I think you set up the standard very high for the others on this one. I can just hear how carefully you approached to the job...everything is so well balanced and neatly done...Excellent effort!:)

Compliments_____Orlando

This one sounds really extraordinary. Inventive approach in mixing...this one must be one of the best.:)

Compliments_____Orlando

Hell yeah, man....I enjoyed your mix very much. It's crisp and clean, instruments well defined within good dynamics...
I really enjoy listening to different approaches on the challenge....

Compliments on this one_____Orlando

All the best to you Devodale, but I find this quite monotonous
, particulary in case this is considered complete work, but if it's ment as some kind of background pad to serve some more complex arrangement then it's not necessarily bad news, depends what you might have in mind for further development of the track. You can contact me via private message for possible collaboration...:)

Orlando

Nice and clean mix and a bit different from the others....

Congrats____Orlando

Very successful mish mash though..:)

Compliments_____Orlando

Excellent RnB stuff !

Respect_____Orlando

I agree...this is your best work to date...compliments:)

Orlando

This is so well done I have to listen to it over and over again....excellent job!:)

Respect____Orlando

This song is not perfect...singing is not perfect...nor the production is...but there's so much emotion in it that it's just incredible!! My favourite part is 1.25-1.46 which is
inexplicably cute.:)

Respect____Orlando

Incredibly pleasing arrangement...big well done to you !:)
Keep up good work...

Respect_____Orlando

Very pleasing funky stuff...congrats!:)

Orlando
