Black Bloc - If you want sucess - FXOjafar's mix

[FXOjafar]

When I started this, I was like "this is going to take longer than my usual 3 hour session!". I usually mix or play some games on headphones from 5am (no interruptions from kids!) before heading to the office.

I wasn't sure about the "loop". It didn't make sense so I left it out. I was in two minds about the conga addition instead, but it made it into the mix in the end A little bit of open hihat filled in the rhythm quite nicely. I also replaced the kick with something with more bite.

I love the guitars even if they are a bit noisy. I faded out the noise in the "pause" bit and cut a snare fill in to make it less of a weird gap.

Made the lead vocal dirty and loud in keeping with the anarchy in the lyrics.

I hope you like it!

I've been tweaking

Some 8 band limiting fixed up the sound somewhat in my opinion as it was sounding a tad harsh before.

I also tweaked that middle section crossfading reversed guitars in with the snare fill I cut in before. I think it works well now.
