Hello all, this's my submission to BDL's mixing contest.

I simulated a situation if a band approached me to mix their track on a tight budget and a really short deadline (like, tomorrow.)
I did not listen to Believe_GregJohnsonMix.mp3 or anyone's mixes before mixing to make the experience more realistic.

About the mix : 
- no additional drum replacement (kick already triggered),
- light quantizing for obvious playing mistakes.
- wanted to reamp the bass/guitars ,but no time and it's already late.
- because I didn't know the lyrics, I thought it went
"so download your tracks / do your best / and fix what needs fixing" (and I fixed the other "gang vocals" at this part which was a little off time..) 
while uploading, i checked out the lyrics and realised it was "So touch down your heart, To my chest , And fix what needs fixing " lol . guess it's time to sleep...

Took me 5 hours. Done , #tagged and submitted. 
thanks for the experience I had fun! I would have charged this mix at approx $180 USD (after currency conversion). it's not my "best effort" due to time constraints and personal commitment. but hope I at least win something nice! any feedbacks about my mix will be highly appreciated. 

Thanks Boz and the guys from I Am Cassettes for this mixing contest and opportunity. 

Lastly the note about "This is not a loudness contest. Smashing your mix into oblivion is not the purpose." , I'm not sure if I've broken any loudness rules, I'm not audio trained, I just shutupandmix so please take it easy on me if I offended anyone sonically.
