Mix Challenge

For me the hardest musical part was capturing, not the original sound that I remember, but how it is represented retrospectively. This is a different challenge, and one that has its own subtleties.

Koekepan: I am not a Cyborg Kudos to you for producing your track largely just with hardware, that's a great skill and a lost art these days. In places the drums are coming in a little bit behind the beat of the synths and the sidestick rhythm that starts around 3:40 feels a bit out of place. Music...

Whew. Just under the wire. URL for .wav file in a zip archive: https://files.catbox.moe/08uv00.zip I leaned more into the darker side of the neon soundscape. Lots of bright tones, gated reverb on kick and snare, all the sins of the '80s except for the cocaine, as far as you know, but a darker harmon...

Some vocal effects units will add formant shifting as well as pitch shifting. This can offset the ostensible masculinity/femininity of the singer's voice too. An example is the Boss VE500.

Reflecting on Process In terms of process, I think that for me the sequencing of the bed is the hardest part. I can handle the live session rendition and recording, no problem, and the process of sound design, while protracted, answers most of the mixing problems before they start. I follow Bob John...

Here's my submission. https://files.catbox.moe/kxl4td.zip We have shoegaze. Shoes aren't that interesting. This sky is a lot more interesting. It's time for skygaze, and the vast spaces in our minds. I did some sketching in Caustic 3.1, but for full implementation I used: Synths: KORG Volca Keys (ch...

As my guidelines, I took the following: - In...

KukoBass flatters me - I think I won this competition because based on that comment, I nailed exactly what I was aiming for!

What a happy way to start the weekend.

Becsei Gyorgy, I like your tune. It has bounce and energy. Parts are almost as if you're channeling Bodzin. While your mix is on the darker side, it's not to the point of being muffled, so it's quite workable in the sense of conveying that moody club feeling. I feel as if I should be finding a sketc...
