My entry into the Hard-Fi "Move Over" remix contest. Probably too late of an entry to garner the necessary "likes" to make the finals (top 25, which I'm projecting will take 40-50 likes), but I hope people like it nevertheless.

This is quasi-mastered, i.e. I tried my best but I'm sure it could be done much better, particularly on the low end, with the right monitoring chain (which I don't have). Hopefully it still sounds OK though. Any feedback, including constructive criticism, would be appreciated!

The U.S. President clips are all recordings made by the U.S. Government, and as such are in the public domain.

Move Over (Hard-Fi) Mix Contest   ***** U.S. Presidents Mix *****

Mix of Amber Skye's "Howlin", a definitely underappreciated track. Other than mixing to taste, my principal contributions are to make the "howls" bone chilling (whereas previous they sounded more sweet than anything else), including ending with the howls fading off into the distance, and adding a breakdown in the middle of the third chorus. I also tweaked the third chorus so that each instrument gets a bit of a showcase, generally only for a bar or two. Otherwise to my ears it seems like an unrelenting wall of sound with little musical purpose.

Enjoy.
