Hi dear Judges, I hope I don't sumbit too much mixes these days :D This one is from my Vampire Variations project, and as I'd like to release it through OCR, maybe you should consider it as a project track. :)

Your own comments about the mix: I decided to arrange "Underground" because the rest of the album was already claimed. The track is very repetitive, so I included a bit of "Walking on the Edge", my favorite track from the classic soundtrack. Last year, during the Grand Maverick ReMix Battle, I arranged Duff McWhalen (yes, I call him/it like that, sorry DarkeSword!) in a percussion-only way (and got eliminated by neblix during the first round, sigh). However, I used all the feedback to make another track, in the very same way and that's how "Underworld Pulse" was born.

I hope everything's okay! I don't think this one will pass the panel, but feedback will help me a lot. :D

Cheers from France!

Way too much reverb, dude. It's a total cacophony with all of the reverb, and a lot of the drums are not mixed quite right, with the snare being overpowering, and not enough melodic percussion included. I do think that an all-percussive idea could definitely work with this source, but the mixing needs to have a stronger foundation, you need way less reverb, and the harmonies need to be fleshed out for it to remain interesting.

Good luck, I hope to hear a resub of this, because the concept is very nice.

No, please resubmit
