hello centrepoint. sounds nicer now i think, would be good if you can paste the prev. version in here as well so it;s easier to have a comparison.
again, your pads are magic! drums seem to fit better now. and the mid synth also does. this all sounds quite compact now to me, good work!

Cheers Mash, it was a good idea of yours to compare the two mate, and upon reflection i'm not sure i improved it much, needs more oomph and volume. Gonna try it again this weekend with some fresh ears, i'd had a few too many beers when i did this one.

Sounding tight man real nice vibes. I remember listening to your first mix of this actually and is definitely a notable improvement. I think the highs are a bit piercing now though, especially at higher listening volumes. Have you used some kind of parallel compression with a wide scoop from the mids on the drums? Still think the drums could bang a bit harder, especially that snare!

May I ask what you're doing for mastering man?
