Boy Oh Boy! What a terrible piece of work.

In these days of computer software (any multi track editing software for goodness sake) that allows for absolutely perfect mixing, why oh why, do we still get crap like this?
Non defined entries, entries half way through a 16 bar sequence, key clashes galore, severe repetition of vox pops at odd positions, need I go on?
Is this really gonna be an official release? They deserve to loose lotsa money.

This is criminal.

I'm afraid I'll have to second most of Quinny's views here.
When you decide to put up a mix for us to listen to expect some constructive critism. I once shared a mix of my own here and got exactly that so you derserve to do so too.

We may live in a world of perfect software mixing...but it still takes a whole lot of musicality to get a good result. At least a basic knowledge of beats, bars and harmonical sense (ie what clashes and what doesn't)
Most of the transformations in this particular mix just don't work mainly because many of the tracks are way too differently sounding to each other. With the add of time stretching some of it could work in theory but it would still sound unnatural.
All In all, you haven't put enough effort in making this mix...and the result is a mish mash of styles & severely crappy fadings really giving me a headache in the end.

If this is gonna be a official release, it really says more about the record label than the mix itself.

The songs involved are good.... they sound great...


HOWEVER!


most of the mixes and the talking aren't appropriate here.

for dancing ..... everyone would walk off the floor

for listening.... it gets boring because the segues are taken out at inapropriate times....

did anything I said make sense.... lmao

[Funky Logic]
