Had an afternoon in the studio so knocked out a mix on Ableton then ran it through iZotope Ozone 9 and an £8K Shadow Hills compressor. Initially wanted to do a 2 hour mix but wasn’t happy with the second hour so edited it down to 60 mins with a different ending. If you want the full experience can I suggest downloading the wav file and playing it through a decent system.

Tracklist:

1) Marino Canal - Unfold (Original Mix) [Afterlife]
2) Nandu, Emily Simbi - Interference Inside (Original Mix) [Out of Options]
3) Tal Fussman - Are You (Original Mix) [MoBlack Records]
4) Ivory - Love Letters (Original Mix) [Exit Strategy]
5) Petar Dundov - Euklidia (Original Mix) [Sudbeat]
6) Squire - Glowing (Original Mix) [Selador]
7) Samwell - Control (Original Mix) [Bonzai Progressive]
8) Carl Craig - At Les (Christian Smith’s Tronic Treatment Remix) [Tronic]
9) Frankey & Sandrino - Alya (Original Mix) [Mule Musiq]
10) Avalon Emerson - One More Fluorescent Rush (Original Mix) [AD 93]
11) Audiojack - Stellar (Original Mix) [Gruuv]
12) Audiojack - Feels Good feat. Jem Cooke (Original Mix) [Crosstown Rebels]
13) Pongo - Lotus (Original Mix) [Frau Blau]
14) Magnus International - Sitronsyre (Prins Thomas Mix) [Full Pupp]
15) Lana Del Rey - Doin’ Time (Patrice Baumel Remix) [White Label]

    Nice one Wasily - will check it out 👍

    We really are spoilt on this board with all these member mixes.

    Wasily Magnus International - Sitronsyre (Prins Thomas Mix) [Full Pupp]……love this

        Dan Prins Thomas is so versatile.

            Wasily Yes Mate….still can’t get this on lossless 🙁

              Wasily this is an excellent mix… technically perfect, good flow and tunes - well done!

                Jules72 Thanks Jules! Appreciate the FB. Amazing what some decent mastering can do…

                  Looks good Alex!. Added to the quite long list of members mixes I’m working my way through at the moment.

                    Btw definitely good idea to shorten a longer mix you’re not happy with 👍

                    Alright I’m an ignoramous .. what do the Ozone and compressor do?

                      Jules72 Ozone is a mastering tool. Bit like an intelligent EQ, so you can tweak the mix to add more impact, accentuate vocals etc. A compressor lowers the level of the loudest parts in your mix – the peaks you see sticking out when you view the waveform. By making them softer (gain reduction), it reduces the overall dynamic range – that is, the difference between the loudest and quietest sections of a mix/track- that’s especially useful when you overlay 2 tracks during a mix as it reduces the increase in volume that sometimes results, giving you smoother transitions.

                      There are a lot of board members who are much more experienced with these than I am, so maybe they can explain further benefits. I’ve just started using Ozone as have always been impressed with the production on @Kumquat ’s mixes and know he often uses it.

                        essentially what they are doing is adjusting the relative volume levels of the high pitched sounds, the low pitched sounds and the medium pitched sounds so that they work in tandem with each other rather than dominating the other bits or getting dominated. So you end up with a full and clear sound where the full range of notes have their own space to breathe and you hear everything you’re meant to.

                        In some ways its a bit like the audio equivalent of adding seasoning imo.

                        That’s my take on it anyway, some of the more accomplished Artistes on here might have a better way of explaining it.

                          WAV version downloaded by the way, looking forward to hitting this up and the next appropriate moment.

                            yeah compression allows you to shrink, or perhaps more accurately control the size of that gap between the quietest bits and the loudest bits. why is that useful, well you might have subtle bits of the track that are not audible or insufficiently audible because they’re drowned out by the loudest bits so you want to be able to manipulate that distance so that the quiet bits are subtle but not inaudible and the loud bits are loud but not excessively so relative to everything else.

                            essentially we’re talking about not drowning stuff out.
