Mr Duffy's Mixology Enterprise

I just received this missive from Mr. Duffy, regarding the ongoing, nay, interminable mixing of our long-awaited (by me) Extended Play Compact Disc:

So last night Mark and myself embarked upon a bit of light mixing. Mr Hammond's mysterious way with drums had greatly improved matters and I was able to concentrate on the guitars, which were sounding boxy and NOT EPIC ENOUGH.

After much experimentation Mr S and I discovered that the ENORMOUS BOTTOM END and generally elephantine chunkiness was causing a problem. The age old adage that a solo'd instrument may sound good but not sit in the mix was admirably demonstrated. Removal of excess and frankly irresponsible bass frequencies followed and lo! Restoration of hubristically large sound was achieved.

I have also taken the liberty of removing a great deal of artificial reverberation from the vocals, which renders the track less BOOMY and more MUSICAL. I suspect that the qulaity (NEW WORD) of the reverberative algorithm thus far exploited in our efforts is at fault in some ways too.

I am much cheered and encouraged by this. Mr Hammond! Get thee onto Eidolon and ting! We are in sight of the finish line!
