After six days (and nights) of intense work, here's what I got. I still wish I would have had time to redo so much, particularly the drums, They are far from as tight as I would have liked them. The mixing sounds really flat on this looking back, some dynamics in between songs would have been great. Also, I did not know about reverb and delay at the time. But I believe this is as good as I could have gotten it in just one week, given my limited experience. I can't believe Jules, Casper and Grant are going to hear this. Let's hope they enjoy it! Love those guys.
Also, damn do I look stupid headbanging.
Edit: I just realized that I MAY be in big trouble - I used sound effects during the transition to Song of Storms. When I put those in there I thought "Oh yeah, these aren't video game sounds so I'm fine" but thinking back the rule was "only original audio." I don't know how I can possibly have forgotten that, but it's the way it is. If it get's me disqualified then that's a shame, but honestly it will be well worth the effort anyways to have such amazing musicians look at my work.
