Sorry if you don't like the mastering!

My personal opinion is the the mastering suits the album well, brings the various styles together, and makes the tracks match previous Christmas albums well. But I've also had the experience of handing one of my tracks to someone else, and not liking what was done with it.

Maybe you could post the original as well?

PS: Yes I'm totally aware that this "label" is a joke. It's kind of supposed to be.

sounds good to me, but I'm not much of an audiophile. thanks for taking the time to put this together root

Yeah, I'm happy with my track's mastering. Sounds good.

All sounds good to me but I'm clearly no expert. Some excellent tracks on there cheers for compiling it, great work!

I don't think a Christmas will go by without me blasting your track several times. Thanks for the festive explosion!

how do i download the album as one unit ? sorry if i'm really stupid question boy, but you know, i'm really stupid question boy.

There's a link labeled "Buy Now" under the music player and the digital album blurb. Click that link, enter "0", and the select the your file type.

oh ok, i was paranoid that they'd take my no dollars.
sanks and merry christmas [-]

happy christmas everyone!

AWESOME!

Don't be so mad though chim, your track is really great as it is here!

Thanks to ga'arg, Zephyr, and Root5! The album looks and sounds great!

Ok sorry for lashing out, it was just very surprising to hear such a big difference. Everybody involved has done a FANTASTIC job, this comp is great!

HELL YES!

i will be here for as many comps as i can to provide explosive festivities <3

Has been on repeat since release, I couldn't sleep more than 40 minutes last night because I always had to get back up again and replay it.

Thanks to whoever did the mastering though, I think my track heavily benefited from it.

Good job everybody and Merry Christmas.

...One thing though, who does the potential money go to? I personally think it should be free for all, obligatorily.

Yes, the album should be free!!! If you do to donate money, it goes to me, which is kind of messed up because I didn't do much. I've done mastering on only one of the albums, and I've only written two tracks on the whole site. The part I do, the organizing, I don't really do that well (notice how late this album came out). For the MOST IDM albums it's actually a significant amount of work dealing with the hundreds and hundreds of topics, but for the Christmas album it's as easy as making a thread and listening to music and judging how late to extend the thing. So please, don't donate anything!!

The reason I have donations enabled, is that there's a limited number of free downloads per month. I think it's like 200. This limit hasn't been exceeded, but if it is, free downloads cannot be downloaded at all. I want the music to be always available, and I don't want to go fiddling with the settings if the limit's exceeded.

Occasionally I get the odd donation. I assume it's usually by non-watmmers, since I always ask very clearly not to receive donations. But certainly one or two watmmers have donated 5 bucks or whatever. The donations average about 15 dollars per album, so it isn't really worth distributing that between the artists in the album. I just use that money to keep my WATMM membership up to date, and do nothing with the rest.

Ih theory I could donate the rest to watmm. Really what I should do is donate a sizeable chunk of it to Zephyr, because he busts his balls mastering all these tracks.

And just to be absolutely clear: I will never monotize this music. All of it is attribution creative commons, and all of it is free.

DLing now!

gonna force my parents to blast this at christmas dinner tonight (they hate electronics)
