Hi to all! Loved this one, I especially enjoy rock music and tried to bring it to a feeling of a rock band playing together as the provider wanted. Always do rough mix first to get the feeling. From the beginning I realised the problems like the “pointy” snare, muddy bass etc. But the most challengi...

Hi! To be on time I did this on a hurry, it took me about 4 hours. First a fast rough mix to get the feeling of the song and choose what tracks are more important. For the final mix I used a lot of Reverb and EQ. Compression not so much because most tracks were not captured by a microphone. My goal ...

Hi everybody! I always start with a rough mix to get the feeling of the song and evaluate the raw tracks. Then I started the mix and I used a lot of EQ, compressors and FX. I didn’t use delays on Vocals as it is heard on the master, I liked better the feeling of natural space for this particular son...

Hello to all! First Ι did a rough mix. That gets me to know the song better, to understand the parts, and to give me a feeling of how the elements of the song should sound to my ears. Then I get into the processing, I used a lot of compression some instruments mild some others hard, a lot of EQing b...

Hi! I did a rough mix first to get to know the song better and understand the parts. For get the distorted sound of the DI guitars I didn’t use guitar amps but tube Compressors which I cranked them I used a lot of compressors for the other tracks and compress a lot, also a lot of EQing but minimal R...

Hi! I always do a rough mix first to get to know the song better, understand the parts, and get the feeling of how the elements. I liked the guitars so I didn’t make any reamping. Then I get into the processing of stuff. Just EQs, Compressosr and FX. I dint use any gate this time because of programm...

Hi to all ! Although I found the released mix absolutely fine, I liked the song and the style so I decided to give it a try. As always first I did a rough mix to figure out what was happening with the tracks, and to figure out what path I’d follow for my mix. I did not use the DI tracks for Gtrs and...

Hi @EatMe thanks for the feedback and for choosing my mix for round 2. I’ve brought up the level of the open hihat, for sure its sounds better now to me with fresher ears this time, worked on the snare to be present all the time and put some reverb on it. About the latest kick drum I’ve brought down...

Hi ! Instantly from the first listen of the provided mix I noticed that I could not hear some instruments so I decide to make a mix that I could hear all the instruments despite the correct vibe that this genre has to have (loud cymbals etc..) First I did a rough mix. I did not use the dry tracks. T...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC084 February 2022 - Submissions until 21-02-2022 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Hi ! My perception for this recording when I listened the individual tracks through my rough mix, was to have a 4-piece rock band that doesn’t need anything more. The overdubs should add just a little “salt”, not playing an important role. So I’ve mixed that track with that perception in my mind. I ...
