The End of Everything Review and Edit

I'm going to try to do what some DJs might call cheating and that's fix the messy spots after the mix has been completed. In Ableton I have the ability (I'm not quite sure how to do this yet) to move tracks, cut them out completely and rework them into the original mix. The two spots that Jason mentioned were two spots I definitely had trouble working with.

The incoming track at the 30 minute mark is Ride by Tiesto and Cary Brothers. There is a lot going on in the intro in that mix. I did my best to filter some of it out using the equalizer but it was really difficult.

The second spot he mentions at 42:30 and as I'm not at my home computer I can't recall the incoming track name. However, I think I warped that track wrong. Remember, warping is when I use Ableton to auto-beat match for me. The warp marker (A place holder telling Ableton where a beat begins) starts too early. After listening to the track I noticed a small beat right before the kick drum (the loudest bass beat). I think I may have warped the track to that rather than the kick. I'll go back and rewarp it and try and plug it back in.

Did you guys like the last song? I LOVE that song. I did everything I could to make that work. The beats per minute on that song is 117 originally and the mix itself is 130. That's a huge difference. Personally, I really liked the effect the song had especially as I manually slowed it down from about 51:10 to 52:10.

These are the lyrics from the last verse of that track. The singer's name is Departure and I definitely have a thing for his voice. I have another track that I'm looking forward to using in an upcoming mix with him as well.

Do you hear me when I weep
Cause I search, I search for peace
If I should die within my sleep
So you know, hold me
Nothing but you can taste so sweet
Do I go? Are you with me?
Cause you know I'm in to deep
Cause you know, know me.
