Mix Challenge

Yes exactly, but how you gain match is vital too, I use an AB comparison plugin but if you don't have the two tracks aligned exactly right, the gain match will be way off. I find even 0.2 dB difference will lead you to the wrong conclusion about a mix.

Hi all, what I'm finding at the moment in these mix challenges is that 1) it's really important to stop listening to what you're doing and listen to something else as much as possible. I don't just mean reference tracks, but also proper breaks and plenty of short times when you stop the track. Our b...

hi all, I have addressed the different sections to try to give more representation of the story. This involved mainly doing all the things that Gaz listed. Some way into the work, another forum member, sthauge, reminded me that he’d noticed my mix was lacking in depth and I started reading about an ...

You are nicer about my mix than I am! I wouldn't want to list everything that I know Is wrong with it :) However ,I'm interested to know what does "Dept" mean? In response to your other comments, the guitar I placed down a bit because I wanted the rhythm to be the main thing at that point...

Thanks @Gaz for liking my mix ;) Here are the changes for round two: 1. Added a tremolo to the bass track in the jazzy section, added some distortion in the crazy part 2. Pushed the organ, pulled down the piano 3. Pushed the BVs to get a better blend with the LV in the last part 4. Pushed the Acous...

I've listened to my mix a ton of times already since I entered it... for some reason this song really sticks to me and each time I listen to it I think of more little "tweaks" and special fx I wish I would have added.... 2 things I hate about my mix I noticed after listening on different ...

Hey Jeffsoloband! I just listened to your mix and you've done a lot of things well, a few areas I think my own mix struggled on was tackled very well by yours. However, I think your lead vocal level is doing a few strange things, it seems to come and go when I'm not expecting. I wonder if you can t...

Something I've learnt on this challenge and on other recent projects is: don't try too hard to make something sound different to how it was recorded. Like on this recording, I heard the drums and decided abruptly that the kick 'didn't have much low end' and so set about making it into a gigantic boo...
