Hello Ian:
I am very glad that you liked my mix of your song. I really enjoyed the opportunity to mix this specific song. I am a huge fan of this type of ambient music. I have listened to artist such as Eno, Moby, Massive Attack, even Radiohead, and certaintly I pull those Influences to mix your awesome track. Moving to the technical aspects of the mix, the first thing I think it makes it different from other submissions its I really understand gain structure because I was trained analog. The FX tracks and the string synths I had to bump them up in gain +16 db in order to maximize the SNRatio. The initial Pad and Bass I had to attenuate them -6db each one to get them into the ball park. After that was my balance to taste, substractive Eq to avoid clashing and the magic sauce on the stereo bus to lift those great sweeps and FXs you created. Here its the recipe of the magic sauce (see pict). On the other side I want to propose you to work together in future releases. I would love to mix more of your work. Let me know if you are interested.
Regards
Javier
