Perhaps the monk fade in at 1:30 could have some panned delay fx to make it decay spacier and more haunting
love the panning stuff around 3:10 when it dubs up.. that is great dub man! heh excellent and when it goes really dub at 3:37 thats it for me, thats the sweetspot, that is sublime with that bassline & complexed snare roll beat. i'd love to hear that section alone, that dub style breakdown extended into a full length version with that drumbeat/bassline and those sounds etc floating away over the top, a really raw version.
so i'd keep the intro up to :22 seconds but come in with the dub

but by doing that radical eq cut it's obviously created other weird artefacts in the mix, but by getting the top out of the mix i get the beef of the drums and fat low mid. that fatness in the mix, so i can go into the mix in my head
mebbe these cans are fecked?
mix here

I see the difference in levels on the EQ'd mix of Oxymoron, but coming from my setup, seems maybe a tad too bass heavy? I mean, once I crank it up (source direct I might add) things maybe get a bit *too* bassy? And I thought these speakers were low on bass
But that's just me and tbh, it's nothing I can't dial out.
But yeah I really dig both tunes. I like all the different layers and arrangement going on in both. I especially like the bell tones in Ultimate mistake; really nice stereo image coming through. Just gunna have a listen to K's rejigger of it.

To Homegrown: Dude, Ultimate Mistake, now don't take offence from this but it sounds to me like the absolute first track on a album that wants to mix into the second and just explode into something, if that makes sense? I love all the restrain and that but it's totally set me up for like the next song

I like my trance to be very wide and fat so the details are not blasting me in the face, i can wander into the mix in my mind and pick out the things going on - i wonder how Homegrown your speakers are setup? and what speakers they are? cos it sounds a bit mid/top heavy.. but that could be the mp3 encoding s/w as well to some extent - mebbe the speakers are booming so you're rolling off the bass end and over emphasising the tops/mid?
i'll check my eq'd version in speakers today anyways, i bet it is way over-bassy!, but i did that at 3 a.m on cans

K cheers for having a bash at the eq etc...definitely sounds fuller on headphones, especially helps on ultimate mistake but obviously makes the top end muddy on both mixes.Till now all my tunes have been made with fairly mediocre Tannoys in a tiny room and I haven't been at all sure of whats going on down the bottom end of a mix, basically the speakers are booming like you say .I've finally shelled out on some Genelecs which aren't perfect but are a fairly large step up from me Tannoys.Got some nice stompy Psy-Trance on it's way which is made with the Genelecs and the mix is a lot fuller and more sollid.
Need to have another go at the bass in the ultimate mistake because it sounds a bit wet and saggy,would like it a bit more sollid.And I think alot of my percussion is generally not as punchy as I'd like it to be, but it's getting there.
Droplifter---- no offence taken mate,if ever I get an album together this tune would have to be the opener.I agree that it needs to explode into something though.Man can not live on restrain alone!
Anyway cheers for your comments guys and your re-jiggings K,always nice to hear another angle
Nice to see the forums s-l-o-w-l-y coming back to life.
P.S them bell tones are from omnisphere.....Don't think I tweaked them at all,so can't take any credit for them,but they are quite lush.
Right I'm off to find out what this MYST game is all about?
