Song comparison: Pure and simple
Original Version
Remix Version
Very muddy and unclear, vocals not in tune and pitchy, little separation in the instruments. Overall a bad mix.
Much better mix, clearer and in-tune vocals that sit better in the mix. Better separation of instruments that are clearer and more present. Industry standard loudness.

Here's me doing a bit more of an in-depth comparison of the 2 versions of 'Pure and Simple'.
Michael eugene hall: CR dance
Michael Hall is a writer of children's books and came to me with an idea to put music to the story of a female mountain biker. On most of the songs he sent me the lyrics and a demo of his vocals. On this song, 'CR Dance', I played all the instruments, added the sound fx and mixed and mastered everything. Below you can listen to the original version we did and this updated remaster version that has not been released. (That's also me saying things like, 'party on dudes!'.
Remastered Version
I took all the original recordings and remixed them, added better fx and remastered the final to a much clearer loudness.
Original Version
In the original, it's a bit muddy, not much clarity. Needs a more of a modern mix.
