Why aren't there more mixes of this song posted? It's such a good song, and it was a lot of fun.
The main difficulty here for me was that the majority of the pads and synths are all living in the same range, frequency-wise, and muting any of them seemed to big a sacrifice since they all contribute tremendously to the momentum of the song. So the ones I couldn't unglue without carving them into near nonexistence are spread out or autopanned and I tried to carve some smoother spaces out so they'd make room for eachother in mono... thoughts on that aspect would be helpful.
I don't know much about trance music, but I figured gain pumping to the kick made a lot of sense, although it's absent in the preview mix so it might not have been the intention.
Anyhow, thanks for listening, and I hope you give this one a go. I had a good time with it.
