I still don't know what bad mixing is lol. I also don't know the job of an arranger. Lol

A mixer decides on the audio levels for each channel/layer of sound (how loud something is in comparison to another layer - what's considered foreground and background and how far into the foreground/background each layer sinks or rises into).

An arranger decides on all the instrumentation (as opposed to the composer who decides on the actual notes/melody/chords, etc.). The composer can sit down and write the piece on a piano, and the arranger takes that information and "arranges" it in software to give life to the piece you actually end up listening to.

(It's after this that someone "mixes" the song by adjusting the levels that the arranger decided upon, and then after that someone masters the track, which is basically just adding EQ and giving the song it's final "full bodied power" that takes it from sounding like a demo and makes it sound full and rich.)

Thank you! Haha that actually really cleared stuff up haha


And Last minute sounds amazing!

[ayumint]

I voted for NO FUTURE but quiet sure that it will be Last minute

[tenshi no hane]

I just don't like the way I have to lower the volume in Last Minute after 1:20 to prevent going deaf. Memorial Address has the same "sudden drum/guitar" thing but doesn't have that problem.

Anyway. I voted for NO FUTURE too, but I'm interested in hearing Last Minute as well.

[Uknow!]

I'm dying.

[jiarongisme]

Oh. My. God.

[TheRainbow]

Finally her clear vocal! Lol, quite nice!

[Aderianu]

Not bad

[maxikot]

Wow, this classical album really stands out What an arrangement I want whole classical themed tour now. Definetely would be original and a must-have in her discography.

[Surreal17]

Hmm, the preview is too short. But I like that heavy bass.

[280301]

I'm not usually one for Ayu's classical albums, but these previews have been excellent so far! This version of Last Minute is not as chaotic in its mixing. Good work Ayu.

[ayumisrael]

omg at Last minute's classical version. What piece of heaven (not the song) did I just hear!?

[DevilsClap]

Wow it sounds so epic!

with the great previews so far I can't wait to hear what NO FUTURE wil sound like.

[Machiko]

Last minute is so good!!

[BlackSilence]

WOW, that's some GACKT level shit! O_O did they met? >_>
Absolutelly breathtaking! THANK YOU GODS OF MUSIC!

[TheRainbow]

I hope NO FUTURE and Sorrows sound as awesome.

[jbrat2219]

Epic!!!

[Gustavopc]

That preview was divine! Praise the Lord for those loud backing vocals on the chorus not being there. It sounds completely like a new song to me, loooving it <3
