Mix Challenge

Hi scottfitz thank you for an interesting post and the thoughts on the topic. Yes, our ears and our brains, that interprets what we hear, is fantastic. A lot have been lost with introduction of .MP3s and later the loudness war that have crippled the sound(my opinion). I just remembered what was impo...

Hi scottfitz Thank you for commenting, it's nice to have a little discussion on this topic. We might not be that far apart after all. It's important to know that the framework for my comments was related to mixes with clarity, air/space, separation and depth. If you on the other hand want loud, comp...

Hi everyone Thanks to BenjiRage and Mister Fox Fox for making it possible to work on these tracks. Very nice song and well recorded tracks. Since asked, the song is mixed using Harrison Mixbus 11 Pro DAW on Kali Audio LP-6 monitors and WS-6.2 sub. ATH M40X(closed) and Ollo X4S(open) Headphones is us...

Hi all First a special thanks to Edling for the song and providing the tracks and to  Mister Fox for using time on organizing these competitions. This is a very good song and mostly nice recorded tracks. The 'kick' was a struggle though. I did not like how it sounded and it was very challenging to g...

Hi Again, thanks to the song provider and Mr Fox for the job they are doing. This song is far from what I usually mixing. I do not know this genre. I'm on ''thin ice'' here, so I made it simple, but I also used some special grips here. I'm not adding new effects, just working with the expression of ...

Hi all First, thanks to JeroenZuiderwijk for providing the song and the needed multi tracks to mix and to Mister Fox for the efforts to arrange these competitions. JeroenZuiderwijk asked for energy. So I assumed he was not satisfied with the energy in the sample of the song we got to listen to. I th...

Hi all Just a quick tips to everybody before you post your link to your mix in the forum: Over and over again we see that participants posting links to their work that for some reason do not function. When you have copied the link to your song, open an Incognito window in your browser and past you l...

Hi amtown Welcome to the community. I think you might want to read the rule book thoroughly, especially the ''TL;DR Rules'' file that was provided with the tracks so you don't get disqualified. Lets hope Mr. Fox have mercy :whiteflag: with you since it's your first time participating Good luck in th...

This is my views and it's perfectly fine to disagree. Here's the last one(at leased for today): cpsmusic Your mix is to quiet. It's -16.1 LUFS so that's OK, but it's also -7.1 dBTP. The reason for this is that it's overcompressed. If you look at the wave form of your mix it's almost a rectangle squa...

elements Lead vocal could sound a bit more natural in the parts where you don't have added effects, try subtract one or two dB around 1.9 kHz(broad Q). Make it more upfront. General information: Remember there's three freq that's problematic: 160 Hz, 620-640 Hz and around 2 kHz, so always pay atten...
