Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC102 February 2025 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Christoph_K Cool sounding mix with nice balance between the different synths, I can clearly hear that scrappy mellotron in chorus. Good automation going into the bridge keeping the energy high. There are some times where effects seem to pop in and out for no apparent reason, for example on the phra...

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

Yes, and I agree completely, but it's just how we reconcile this with the rule book and the "This is a mix challenge, NOT a mixing and (pre)mastering challenge" guideline. Cheers! Yeah, and I will quit this game as soon as it becomes completely incompatible with the real life. I remember ...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC102 February 2025 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

I have a question regarding the bottom/lowmid remark though: Can you be a little more specific in which instruments/vocals you are missing it? I don't just want to slap an EQ on the mixbus :) I think my main concern is that the bottom end isn't consistent. Listen to the ending of the first chorus f...

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

Hi All, When I don't make the Final 15 I like to go back and listen to the mixes that made the final cut in order to try and figure out what they did in their mixes that I didn't. I also like to have a quick look over the processing used. I was surprised to see that for MC102 one of the mixes that ...

I really enjoyed putting my hands on this beautiful song and great production! I only had two hours to work on it and this is my first mix pass. Unfortunately i don’t have time to work on it in more detail, but that may also be a good thing ;) Here’s what I did: All tracks are treated with Softubes ...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC101 December 2024 - Mix Round 2 until 09-JAN-2025 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Thanks to Mellow Browne for giving me a chance to revisit my mix. Here’s what I changed: I did work mostly on the 808. I refined my attempt to control the saturation and got rid of the rumble with an additional FabFilter Pro-MB. I also got rid to the nonlin reverb on the claps and lowered the autotu...

Thanks to Mellow Browne for providing this cool production. I really enjoyed mixing it! All tracks are treated with SSL4k in my Softube Console 1. Mixed in LUNA. Notes for my mixing environment: I work with Barefoot Footprint 01 and PMC twotwo6. I have applied a ton of acoustic treatment in my room ...

Again a big thank you to JeroenZuiderwijk for all the efforts. Insane! And thanks of course for letting me do a revision. Here’s what I did: I tamed the harsh frequencies in the vocals with EQ, backed off the effects on the vocals in the end and the guitar solo and put a high cut filter on the fuzz ...

A big thank you to JeroenZuiderwijk for providing the multitracks. It was great fun mixing them. For this challenge I used ProTools with the Michael Brauer Template again. I like it for dense tracks where everybody is fighting for attention so to say. The MB setup can handle this very well on most o...
