I enjoyed this on first go, Z. I’ll give it another whirl over the weekend to see how its matured.

hugopal by studio, I meant that I pieced it together in ablation’s arrangement view. Most of the tracts were chopped up to make them knit together neatly, and all of the filtering and levels were automated. Not sure what you are talking about with the recording quality. I have a compressor on my master channel, but it rarely engaged due to my leveling, so I doubt that was it. Might be due to the fact that I use filters as opposed to EQs for all of the transitions. Makes them a lot smoother but you do lose that fun bumping and phasing interaction between tracks. Could just also be the type of tunes I picked.

I agree with you on the Sleeparchive. Also my pick of the bunch. I make a point to get everything he puts out on both vinyl and digital. He was thinking about giving up the game due to lack of bookings pre COVID. I really hope that isn’t the case.

Thanks for the thoughtful review. Think you were very on point.

And thanks for listening LT. Two play throughs is more than I could have hoped for.

      zackster the mix is good, but the sound quality is lacking for sure, which is odd given that you mixed it in ableton. it’s a bit quiet, could probably use compression, but it’s tough to apply a single compression setting over a long mix.

      i’m not sure i can help, but i’d be happy to take a crack at it just for the sake of the exercise if you want. it’ll probably end up sounding worse lol, but i don’t mind trying.

          That is probably the issue. I tried to keep all of the tracks out of the red, i.e. all were played at or below -6 dbs. I played it on my weekly FM radio program, and for what ever reason the tracks end up being really bass heavy if they dip into the red AND go out over the airwaves. Some old studio tech explained it to me, but I didn’t really pay attention as it was all due to old and dying technology. The guy is like 6 foot 5, and carries a teddy bear named Booker T. Bear with him everywhere he goes. He speaks to the bear and the bear will often respond but only he can hear it. It’s super insane.

              Could be several people off this board imo.

                Mix sounds good to me, no quality issues.

                Not too far off, to be honest. Went a bit big last night.

                But I’m not that ugly. Only half English.

                    zackster Zackster it’s not all about your mix you know?

                    Jonattan has important work to do: All the 2005 Essential Mix listening and associated thread. Remember?

                      Zacko, you are in danger of me listening to this tomorrow.

                      Is this going to be an absolute racket or will it make me want to hurt anyone?

                        You have my word I’ll give it a go over the next few days. Been very busy as they’ve deactivated loads of Covid workers, a good thing in aggregate, but not great for me personally. Should have time for a run/hike and some Zack techno over the weekend.

                          When you do bants AND call me mate, it makes a bit of sex wee come out.

                          I am going to listen to it for definite now, zack.

                          HTFF!

                          Smallman1 It’s the Cd1 of techno.

                          In Zack’s case you mean ‘The Seedy One of Techno’

                            I’ve tried that alias but Speedy J’s camp reached out in protest.
