I want some opinions on this, This for the most part is this finished mix of the album. I have finally recorded bass for every song and mixed it in as best as I could learn in the month or so I have been doing it (Sounds better if you have good speakers and/or headphones, Youtube compressed the video a bit).
The songs were "mastered" by myself, and by mastered I only mean that I tried to mix the final .wav files to a point where they sounded cohesive with one another (So please keep in mind these were not technically mastered, I will have that done probably at the end of the year, when I put a truly mastered album up for purchase). So I would like to know if you think these songs actually sound alike in production, and like they belong on the same album. Some songs were recorded over 3 years apart, Point Of Origin and Pair Annihilation are the biggest gaps in recording time (I would love to re-record these, and I indeed will - But lack the time. Pair Annihilation is over 45 tracks in Reaper and takes about 15-20 hours to record), but I think I was able to bring a cohesiveness to them, So let me know what you think.
And of course, if you think the mix of any one song is weird, please let me know, I still have about week before its release and enough time to make some changes if need be!
EDIT:
I know that "My Shadow, Cast Upon The Sun" sounds very weird in the video, I don't know why, there is no problem in the vegas project and the song sounds completely different in my windows media player and other media playback devices.
