For those who have been following my remix/remaster of Eros, I'm now on v3. You can redownload at the link I initially PMed you. Minor revisions to "Margot" and "Candy", but the major revision here is "Melanie". That track honestly gave me the most trouble throughout this restoration project. No matter what adjustments I made, I struggled with its "perceived loudness" considerably. It was never quite seated right in the overall album mix. So I essentially pared back all of my assumptions, started over, and rebuilt it from the ground up. Much happier with it now.

v3 also probably concludes my work on the project. I think it's turned out quite well. It's possible that I'll want to tinker with it more, but I must have tossed a good 40 hours of my life away on this since the initial Eros leak, and I should step away for a long while.

Got it thank you 👍🏽

Sent you a pm

How can I get in

Biggest thing I've done is put Briana between Dallas and Margot (inspired by the Caliban mix sent earlier). I feel like everything flows great, even before doing that; but Diamond is the optimal closing track.

Imagining it like a vinyl record, Briana would close the a-side, with Margot beginning the b-side.

I'm glad that little adjustment to the sequencing worked for you. I've played around with "Electra" in different spots, as well, but I just keep coming back to the original tracklist that leaked, only with "Brianna" between "Dallas" and "Margot."

NOTE: If I already sent you my remix/master, revisit and redownload the link you were initially sent by me. I updated the .zip to a v2 designation.

In v2, I made a few changes to restore some dynamics to Chino's vocals across a few tracks, as well as a few other small mixing adjustments (Frank and Abe in "Candy", for example). But the big change was in the mastering. My original remix was mastered to approx. -12 LUFS, which is roughly where the original demos were sitting. That created a fairly dynamic listening experience, because loudness wasn't the goal. But I heard back from a few of you that you thought the listening experience was too quiet on my mix, so I mastered v2 to approx. -9 LUFS, which is somewhere around what you'd experience from 'Saturday Night Wrist' or 'Diamond Eyes'. It squashes some of the dynamism of the original mastering job, but it definitely is a better, more consistent listen next to other Deftones albums. I also updated the album art, inspired by the "Ohms" music video.

I messaged you about it and you didn't respond, :/

My apologies, friend. I did receive quite a few requests, so I must have missed it! Anyway, I just PMed you.

I've just done a Chi OverEnhanced mix version of the record, in case anybody feels like DM'ing me

It's not focused on being a great listening experience at all, but it overenhances and makes Chi's contributions quite obvious.
