wow wow wow

wow

I think there’s a touch of digital distortion in a couple places (?) and maybe a tad overcompressed (the 2 may be related)

but wow, forgetting those nits this is a truly moving piece of music. outstanding!!

I very much appreciate the compliment. I actually hadn’t done any mastering yet, and had a couple of places perhaps a little hot on signal that maybe could use some compression but am not really sure how to deal with them. Maybe just take a stab at mastering it. I spent more than a few nights on this trying to get it full enough while keeping it simple. I very very much appreciate the comments and will be working to create more here.

The vocal tempo changes you’ve made really work very well. The bird-derived atmospherics are great. Once or twice, I thought that it would have been nice to have had a softening drone or wash of strings behind Kristin’s voice to propel the chill mood. I love all the little touches you’ve added to give this mix a rich texture.

I very much enjoyed this innovative and interesting mix.

I admit I had thought about adding some pad behind in places, but was getting worried about doing too much. Thanks for the feedback.

lovely, so very interesting, lots of nice little touches, great ideas and feelings. Very nice.
It does distort a bit but didnt get in the way of my enjoyment.

I hope you checked out the replace file, I cleaned up the digital distortion quite a bit. Thanks for the listen and the sample.

Very emotive and atmospheric mix Shimoda. Plenty here to keep the interest but not destroy the ambience. I think you supported the vocal well. Very well done.
