Good. I know what I like and I like what I know.

Well, in most, if not 98%, cases the client goes to the mixing engineer
after he has a set of tracks, or rather, a song. In most cases. And
when the mixing is done with the mixing engineer, then the result goes
to the mastering engineer. This is how mixing engineers usually earn
their living.

You are free to take a listen to any, and more if you are so inclined.

Sorry, no progressive metal. Now, the way it went with this so far, is
that now it might very well veer off with a critic of those songs. So
I would like to say that despite the trend, I would - strangely -
welcome critics on the songs and the way the sounds are put together.
I always ask anyhow when I post them. Which will get totally off the
subject here, but it's OK. Some are possibly itching to talk about
actual mixing.
