[Mix-Intent: Isolate Stems, Maximize Separation, Preserve Cathedral Reverb Space, Support Gradual Buildup Arc] [Mix-Goal: Clean, high-clarity modern studio mix with earthy warmth; introspective quiet building to powerful awakening crescendo] [Frequency: Balanced spectrum; sub-bass earth rumble (30-60Hz), Bodhrán punch (80-150Hz), guitar warmth (150-400Hz), pipe clarity (400Hz-2kHz), vocal presence (2-5kHz), choir air (8-12kHz)] [Low-End: Warm and grounded; sub-bass rumble as textural earth pulse; Bodhrán tight punch; guitar low-end defined; light sidechain on sub-bass to Bodhrán] [Drums: Bodhrán heartbeat pulsation; tight punch, skin texture preserved; natural room; evolves from sparse to driving] [Guitar: Medium distortion wall, wide stereo; builds from background texture to prominent climax; warm low-mids, not muddy] [Pipes: Uilleann pipes slightly left; rich organic tone; drone sustained underneath; ornament articulation clear; not overly bright] [Synth: Earth rumble sub-bass wide stereo; felt not heard; atmospheric ground vibration] [Choir: Wide stereo; builds from sparse to full layers through track; cathedral reverb preserved; supports but never overwhelms lead] [Vocals: Female lead centered, forward, emotionally present; clear 2-5kHz; intensity grows through track; gentle de-ess; slight saturation toward climax] [Stereo: Wide choir and guitar wall; centered vocal and Bodhrán; pipes slightly left; sub-bass fills stereo floor] [Compression: Light in first half for dynamic range; slightly tighter in climax; no pumping; preserve buildup contrast] [Clarity: Reduce mud in low-mids (200-400Hz); maintain separation between guitar, pipes, Bodhrán, and sub-bass] [Noise: Minimize haze; preserve intentional earth rumble and Bodhrán skin texture] [Reverb: Cathedral reverb on choir and guitar; moderate reverb on pipes for organic space; vocal forward with controlled reverb] [Special: Intro Bodhrán heartbeat must be dry and visceral — close-mic feel; buildup arc is the core of this track — mix must grow] [Intro] [Low Bodhrán: heartbeat rhythm, two beats] [Uilleann Pipes Drone, rumbling like earth] [Distortion Guitar with Bodhrán] [Verse 1] koh-keh foo-reh tah-teh myah-koo gah tsoo-tah oo jee-gah myah-koo oo-tsoo koh-doh hee-bee koo [Verse 2] neh-gah hee-bee koo mee-zoo gah shee-roo soh-koh meh-goo roo ee-noh chee-noh wah [Verse 1] keen-shee hah-shee roo mee-eh noo kee-zoo nah foo-reh zoo toh-doh koo zoot toh koh-koh nee [Verse 2] kee-gee kah-tah roo kah-zeh nee noh-roo neh-gah tsoo-nah goo tai-wah soo-roo [Pre-Chorus] hah-nah reh-teh ee-tah oo-soh noh kah-beh dah foo-reh tah soh-noh teh soo-beh teh hee-toh tsoo [Instrumental] [Bodhrán and Uilleann Pipes building] [Verse 1] jee-mehn nee foo-soo toh-oh neh-gah koo-roo moh-ree myah-koo oo-tsoo yah-mah noo koh-doh [Verse 2] mee-kee noh-boh roo koh-eh tsoo-tah oo chee-tei yoh-boo soo-ee myah-koo dah [Pre-Chorus] kah-beh nah-doh nai oh-noh reh-dah keh-dah mee-mee soo-mah seh-bah hee-bee ee-teh ee-tah [Verse 1] hoh-oh oh koh-keh heh sheen-doh koo-roo moh-ree ee-kee soo-roo mee-nah myah-koo oo-tsoo [Chorus] neh-noh koh-eh koo-roo myah-koo oo-tsoo chee-dah koh-noh meh-goo ree-nee ee-chee boo-nee nah-roo koh-doh hee-toh tsoo joo-eh kee-noh boh-roo sah-kai toh-keh roo meh-zah meh-teh yoo-koo [Outro] [Bodhrán accelerating into full band crescendo, then sudden silence]
