I couldn't decide which title to use, so I just used both! CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE! xD

I swear, I'll get to the tutorial video (honestly, it might end up being more than one) and the GRAD mix at some point soon. I just haven't had enough time over the past few weekends to even consider it. But thankfully, I did have enough time for this mix.

I'd like to think that I've basically gotten this whole mixing thing down to a science now, but this one was tough. It had some very advanced edits that needed to be made in order for everything to flow and transition smoothly, and there were more audio tracks in my editor than ever. As such, I wouldn't recommend starting with this track if you're a budding mixer; the final two boss themes of the game or Rules of Nature are probably a safer bet.

Either way, I used all the tricks I've learned from previous mixes here: the structure, sub-vocals, intro sequence, and inclusion of other tracks besides the song itself have all been done in at least one mix before this. However, I've never really added an outro to the mix, and I decided to experiment with it here, seeing as Sundowner gets a separate track to end his boss fight and I really enjoy that track on its own.

On top of that, this mix sort of shares a story with Monsoon's mix from last month, in that it's still raining at the beginning of this one from the end of that one. This sense of cohesion fueled the outro of this mix, in which I tried to create a very brief moment of solace for Raiden and the listener. After all, with Sundowner's defeat, there's only one person standing in the way of you saving the world now. Might as well reflect on that and this song's fixation on nature a little, y'know?

"Red Sun" and "Tour de Force" were composed by Jamie Christopherson, as a part of the OST for "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance". I claim no ownership of the original works, but I do claim responsibility for mixing these two together to create the final product that you're listening to.

Hope you enjoyed the mix!

P.S. Besides the GRAD mix of Rules of Nature, only one more boss theme remains now, and you know what that means! Look out for a mix of "It Has To Be This Way" next month after my final exams are over! :D
