Mix Challenge

Hi Philippe! I am listening to your mix right now hoping I find the right words to explain my comment better. One of the things with the drum in your mix is that there is very little sustain. That makes it sound what I call "clean". I don't mean that it needs reverb, It could be the compr...

D8Bflup Drums sound too friendly. It does have a good balance but misses energy. Too much pop vibe too little rock vibe. Bass sounds very good. Vocal is a bit on the dry side and doesn’t sit good in the mix. I like the ampsim sound of the guitars but the need to be more aggressive upfront…..if you ...

Folks, there is no need to accuse each other of using "samples". This doesn't lead to nowhere. This is why I've reached out in private for more clarification. Maybe the wording could have been better. However, 'poking the bear like that', did lead to a nice discussion about the use of tra...

This contest was more up my alley musicwise then most. However, I have plenty experience mixing this genre live, but never did this in a studio enviroment. So thanks to the provider to give me the opportunity. link to the wav file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrcrei2qsl7yyc6/MC091__SilverStoned__EyeOf...

Hi all, MC084__The_Buddy_Blake_Band __Time_Capsule_d8bflup As usual, 95% of the mix was done OTB, on my aging Soundtracs CM4400, only a few things were done inside Studio One All tracks were EQ'd on the Soundtracs, some only highpassed, others quite drastically Kick and Snare were both run trough a ...

Well, I had a blast mixing this. I had some experience mixing this kind of music in a live setting, this was the first time I could mix traditional music in a studio setting. Going in to the mix I had only two ideas/goals. Making the drums somewhat larger than life and making the drone part at the b...

@d8bflup hey, question, what is that effect at 1:06-1:08? It sounds a bit like a rainstick in the back (it obviously isnt, but whatever causes it sounds sonically similar), it only lasts for 2 seconds, but ive heard this sound a few times lately in other productions, and cant for the life of me fig...

After skipping a few mix challenges, I'm happy to participate again. And what a song... As always, the tracks were loaded in Studio One, wich was only used for playback and some volume automation. Mixing was 99% done on my Soundtracs CM4400 with a selection of outboard dynamics & FX In contrast ...

Great song, really enjoyed this one. https://www.dropbox.com/s/c09vee601qcx9lz/MC072__Vanagloria__Grita__d8bflup.wav?dl=0 As usual, mixed on my Soundtracs CM4400, with Studio one mainly as a player and some light automation breakdown: I used the "Recorder man" tracks as basis of the drum s...

Hi All The song was mixed on my Sountracs CM4400 using mostly outboard... Drums Kick tracks, Snare tracks and overheads were aligned using Sound Radix Auto align The Kick Front was only used for some low end, and only some light EQ was used on the desk. The AKG Kick however was heavely processed usi...
