So it's possible that there are some anomalous contributing factors which may not be reproducible in normal testing. Given the nature of the content I would not be surprised in the slightest. However I swear that all I did was export the mix once with normalise enabled (at 11:40pm on 31 October 2010) and once with it disabled during day light hours on 01 November. IMO, one thing is definite and my friend has confirmed it by listening from here. The Halloween mix is dark and spooky. There is no doubt about that. The levels are very heavy and the bass is prominent in the mix. That was not my intention as I prefer the 01 Nov mixdown but it has a certain "je ne sais quoi" which is quite apt for a Halloween mixdown ;-) Cheers. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd.
