Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC097 April 2024 - Mix Round 2 until 25-MAY-2024 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

Hi Per, I followed your directions and created this revision of the mix.

Hi all, First of all my thanks to the songprovider Per Bellener and Mr Fox. This is a very strong piece of music. I wanted my mix to bring out the energy and to respect all the beautifull layers of the arrangement. So first of all I made a mix with just the faders and some eq to feel what was needed...
