Fool's Gold 2008 has been updated to version 2.0 (or, strictly speaking, version 2.0g). A very significant amount of work has gone into this, and a large portion of the mix has been redone from scratch. I felt like the previous version sounded much too compressed, almost to the point of distortion (taking a page from Murray's book there). For this version, I completely reset the volume of every single layer in the mix and redid them all from scratch to what they should be (a significant undertaking). The mix is sounding much cleaner now, and much more professional (I feel). There is also a lot less compression on everything, which makes me much happier. I also reworked a few of the instruments, including replacing my staccato cello and viola layers with different sounds as well as supplementing them with oboe and some quiet electric guitar (taking a cue from the new theme). All in all, the mix should be sounding quite good now. Comments are welcome.
