Yeah, I did all the mixing. I'll break it down for you.
1. The coin dropping and the phone ringing is a very brief snippet of sound from a track that is alluding me presently. It begins with the outdoor ambience, so I took the outdoor ambience, pre-coin drop, looped it a bunch of times and overlaid over the snippet.
2. I almost immediately started slowly faded in the first 2:30 of "Synthesist" -- seeking the desired effect of a UFO abduction -- and then faded out into
3. Under Your Spell, which I shortened by cutting out chunk in the back half. Looped the synth at the end to fade it out
4. The fade into the Fabolous track, which I didn't alter meaningfully
5. Didn't meaningfully alter the LOL Boys track, except for the transition out where
6. I fucked with the Sumsun remix track to blend them together, but otherwise didn't alter. Transitioning out of it was easy because there's no beat.
7. So the slow fade into Portofino took little effort
8. The interlude is actually the first 30ish seconds of Queen of the Stone Age's "You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire"
9. I basically just drenched the Mood Rings track in reverb which made the fade out of the interlude into it really easy
10. Didn't alter the Chaka Kahn dub much, just faded it out at the end
11. I slowed the Zomby remix by like 10 or 15%
12. The Ford & Lopatin track is ambient and plays from the Zomby fadeout until well into the CFCF track. I recall fucking with the speed of the F&L track to get it to end where I wanted.
13. Then there is significant overlap with the CFCF track still on full blast with the first verse of "I'm In It" softly playing at the same time.
14. Then for "I'm In It," I added an extra couple of seconds before the beat drops, but the outro was tricky. I ended up making a duplicate copy of the last verse and put the duplicate through a high pass filter, then synced it up with the unaltered end verse and adjusted the sound envelopes of the two, so the high pass filter version goes from being inaudible to being the only thing you can hear.
15. I ripped the Salem track out of the middle of a mix they posted, but it was really short, so I looped it a few times.
16. The Alicia Keys track is slowed (both tempo and pitch) by 30% and truncated
17. I only used one portion of Truant, which was easy to transition into from the piano keys of Alicia and was easy to transition out of and into the Talabot track, which starts out pretty minimal
18. I used about half of Tick of the Clock, which was easy to transition into given the Talabot track's ending
19. Finally, I used a piece of sound capture software from a pirated copy of Drive, where I recorded Gosling's voice and overlaid him speaking during a portion of Tick of the Clock, which actually ends before Gosling finishes speaking.
20. But the whole concept between naming the first and last tracks open and close is cuz a phone dialing is the first thing you hear and a phone call ending is the last thing you hear.
