Mix Challenge

I'm always amazed of how different my mix sounds depending on what I hear before it. Do you feel the same? It's scary how our brain adjusts. That's a good reason to find some genre appropriate professionally released tracks to reference when mixing and why I disagree with the volume limits on our m...

Mix: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrlYFkvB3c3EVHpysiMQ?e=29RynU Notes: Drums: Tried to eq the drum to make it more like a rock drum and added automation on the eq to try and even out the kick over time. OH: lots of low end eq cut Snare: some eq cuts and tried to add more crack. Bass: cut some low e...

That's a shame. I seriously hoped it was just a problem with my download somehow. :sad: But I'm also curious what might have happened there. Do you think the fact that it appears only in the left channel can give us a clue to the root cause? It looks like 1603 samples (~ 30 ms) are affected. I have...

Hopefully I didn't miss the deadline. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrlP8ncbMpRo6hRG0G8g?e=gifhAJ Rev2 changes: - remixed piano is more upfront and centered - balance between lead and backing vocals adjusted - added tremolo at end of jazzy section on bass and organ - added some automation in a few s...

Something I've learnt on this challenge and on other recent projects is: don't try too hard to make something sound different to how it was recorded. Like on this recording, I heard the drums and decided abruptly that the kick 'didn't have much low end' and so set about making it into a gigantic bo...

[/quote] Haha yeah, I fully admitted my laziness. If it makes you feel better, I got RVox for free as a holiday freebie. And I got Vocal Rider in one of Waves “one time only” sales for pretty cheap. I fully agree that these plugins are gimmicks. And I also agree that my use of them did not suit my m...

I've listened to my mix a ton of times already since I entered it... for some reason this song really sticks to me and each time I listen to it I think of more little "tweaks" and special fx I wish I would have added.... The best way to handle that is to mix fast. If you can mix fast then...

Thanks Gaz, this is a cool track with tons of character. Appreciate your work with Nick on sonic state over the years. I tried to go a little more modern with the mix. mix: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrlPR6XJ-7Mtwr2lr5WA?e=hJifyQ Drums: Basic eq and compression. Drums feed a sidechain signal to t...

WOW! a Gaz song, how crazy! Now we just need a track by Nick.

Congrats, there is a lot of value in this site and what it provides.

Thank You!
