Mixing from 5B to 5A

How to mix this transition

Blend over 16–32 bars to let the harmonic recontextualization settle; rushing this move flattens its emotional impact. Use a high-pass filter on the incoming C Minor track during the overlap to avoid mud from competing bass lines—the relative minor often sits darker in the low end. Bring in the new track at a phrase boundary in the outgoing E♭ Major, ideally after a 4- or 8-bar section closes, so the listener's ear accepts the tonal shift as a new statement rather than a collision. Avoid EQ-killing the outgoing track's highs too early; let the major-key brightness fade naturally as the minor tonality takes focus.
