kirurg / mix dry. little spatial processing. It turned out sterile.

general presentation is good. Flute processing stands out too much. I did not like. It was possible to make the treated part quiete

Percussion is well processed. But it is a bit unbalanced with the rest of the sound.

percussion brought to the fore. She plays separately from the mix.
Studio Saturn -
Some tracks have too much reverberation. This makes the music tracks unclear. Tracks are smeared.

work out the middle frequencies of the track so that the instruments have their place.

There is not enough treble processing. You can handle a little percussion parallel compression.

In the track, the central lead is blurred. Not clear and below the level with a snare drum.
Octopus On Fire /
I heard muddy low frequencies on the track. Need to pay attention to kick.
Mork/
The whole mix sounds very good. You can add percussion and snare space. Not enough reverb.

The main mistake is a poor balance of mixes. Mixes are not played as one unit. I chose the most balanced tracks. Minuses.

If you area unsure what to do exactly, reach out to the song provider and engage in a conversation here on the forum.



A thank you to everyone, and good luck for Round 2

Here's my entry for Round 2:

WAV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3chz1l3wgmme6 ... 2.wav?dl=0
MP3: https://www.dropbox.com/s/je12d38shj05e ... 2.mp3?dl=0

I addressed the low end resonances by cutting frequencies (There was a build up around 45Hz), and gave a little polish and shine to the synths, guitars, and effects.

Hope this accurately represents the client's idea for the song.
