wow we got each other!!! what a fun surprise!! :D

i’m definitely feeling the Bjork vibe, and that smooth 808 bass line is melodic and perfectly rich.

what an intricate production — deep and full of tasty treatments, transitions and musicianship.

so honored!!!! thank you for this mix! gotta go listen again (because this mix deserves multiple plays!!!)

Thank you, really appreciate the kind words and your mix fit the stems so perfect and is exactly what they were meant for. Best regards.

I made some changes to the drums and hope it is still ok.

Love the bass, Darkroom! Love everything else, too, but hoo-wee getting seismic :)
You did an excellent job crafting a chill freestyle backing track for Snowflake’s vocals :)

I dropped some of the beat and reduced the 808 so let me know if it is less boomy.

Nice one, oh yeah, it sounds even better, and now it’s got a more balanced thump to it :)
Worth nothing, I sit close to my subwoofers, I *love* the lows :D

Very smooth and well arranged.
Great job mixing Emily’s voice.
No worries.
I feel well warned.

The electric snare seems to distract from vocals but that could be how your mix sounds on my monitors.

Thank you and thought I had that snare under control, but I just dropped it down a bit in the vocal range so maybe it will dullen some of the bite.

I actually went in and removed some of the drums since that was my original intention to be more intimate.

Sounds mo better with adjustments.

Q: Do you examine the the pitch of the snare and kick to compare to the key of song? Adjust to taste?

I usually will try and find a kick and snare that fall within the root triad and sometimes will tune to the minor 7th if feeling wild. There are a few I made that I didn’t tune at all though.

Quite dark and brooding. Love that low end. Great restraint!

Appreciate the comment Scomber and it is always a challenge using 808 sounds since I use it in a classic 80s way instead of the modern crushed dynamics way.

Great cappella selection! The tenderly melancholic music fits perfectly with Emily. I like the half-tone steps in the bass. You’ve done it wonderfully.

I didn’t get a chance to listen until after your adjustments, but the production seems very silky-smooth to me. Just right.
