It's very common in automated online mastering services and I suppose the more often it gets heard then the more it becomes acceptable.

Thank you for choosing my mix to go on to Round 2. That was quick judging! Unfortunately for me - too quick. I am out of town on a little trip with my wife and won't be home until Tuesday the 27th past the deadline. I won't be able to compete in Round 2. The final Round 1 judging is not usually so quick. I figured I'd have plenty of time to adjust my mix if chosen. I was wrong. :cry:

If you would like to bump someone else up to Round 2 to take my spot, feel free.

Thanks for the feedback, Gary. I'm back home now and I agree... that pesky low end :bang:

Anyway, thanks for the song, it was fun to mix. See you around!

Thanks for the feedback Gary! Background vocals up. I have noticed I do tend to build the backgrounds so they are loudest at the end of the song.

Glad to be in round 2! this is the second challenge I´m in an it means a lot to me, so thank you Gary! :hail:

I took care of what you mentioned on your feedback: made the intro snare come up in level, reduced a couple dB around 700 hz during the old section and made the fade out start earlier.
I also got rid of some low/mid frequencies on guitars and brass that to me made the song sound a little muddy.
On the master bus I added some parallel compression, some slight stereo enhancement and finally a limiter with 2.4dB of gain.

I hope you like this version even more than the last one!
