Mixing on SSL

One of the aims of the EP was to finish the mixes on the SSL, however time constraints and availability meant only two mixes were able to be printed using the SSL and the outboard gear that came with it. These were Path of Sorrow and Vows Of A Cynic.

Though I was pleased with the outcome of Path Of Sorrow, Vows Of A Cynic had something happening in the phase that I couldn't figure out and ended up producing a mix that was biased to the left. So I ended up mixing it back in the box. 

Below are both the SSL mixed Vows Of A Cynic, and in the box mix, as well as the initial mix of Path Of Sorrow:
