Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC094 October 2023 - Winners announced

What a sudden result! Considering my spontaneous participation in the last few days of round 1. I'd like to select the IK Multimedia T-RackS Tape Machine Collection. Big thanks to BenjiRage for this perfect organization. Certainly a lot of work. And of course thanks to Mister Fox for this continuous...

This was fun to mix! Thanks to the songprovider and Mister Fox for making this possible. I downloaded the package a few days ago and kept in mind to not overthink my mix. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j3h8ev1xqtxoa2i589vou/MC094__Pray_For_Hayden__Dont_Panic__m_tree.wav?rlkey=a3hvkaukntn51g0lrgg3xho...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC091 April 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

It seems many people have the LUFS problem. I also had this same problem in my firsts mixes in this competition. I strongly recommend using an audio editor after printing the track, so you can normalize the volume at -16 lufs, I use RX7 that have a specific module to achieve this. But I am sure the...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC091 April 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

As far as I know it's usual to send the mix with a good amount of headroom to the mastering studio. And, of course, without limiting and too much processing on the mixbus. The mastering sounds better with preserved peaks on the mixbus. With 24 bit respectively 144 dB signal-to-noise ratio even 10 or...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC091 April 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Hi Ben, thanks for your compliment! I tune my toms in intervals (since a couple of years). It should be a perfect fifth (7 semitones) per four inch difference in diameter. Thinner resonant heads, tuned distinctly higher than the batter heads. In the mixdown I didn't use multiband compression, transi...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC091 April 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

As a (prof.) drummer I recorded and mixed myself a lot over the past years. I also mixed and mastered some other stuff semi-professional. With this background I found out that the drum recording itself is the absolute key. And I experimented over years to preserve the natural sound I'm still improvi...

Nice track with good vibes! Thanks for this opportunity. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qg1anwk2twpqad6/MC091__SilverStoned__EyeOfTheNeedle__m_tree.wav?dl=0 I thought the timing issues are more problematic before I heard the tracks. The drums are a bit shaky, but in the whole mix this doesn't bother me a...

Thanks for this multitrack. Nice song and performance. I like the video, too. This time I focused primarily on the learning aspect and practice. I compared my mix with the reference mixes (including the youtube version) and some others while mixing and questioned some of my approaches. https://www.d...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC089 December 2022 - Mix Round 2 until until 20-JAN-2023 23:59 UTC+1/CET

In learning about mixing, there is a vast amount of skill required, it is not to be underestimated. I've been trying to learn this for over 5 years now and it's been a series of rude awakenings frankly. I have to keep facing that my ears are not well trained enough yet to hear all the aspects and m...
