Fun retro track. Nice to work on something that isn't folksy or rock. My mix is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrlaQr6DhU8iItM-n2JA?e=7mH5NT I'm not really a techno fan so I went for an early to mid 90's trance vibe, something that screams access virus, novation supernova, JP8000, etc. Its all ...

@Mister Fox sorry if this is a flood for the topic but i keep reading that people put limiters on there mix buses i know that its not a big deal but kinda feel that its a bit unfair for the rest of us that don't do it. At the end when someone must choose the louder mix will sound better every time ...

My unfiltered initial reaction: the Official Release version sounds pretty close to perfect already, thus setting the bar rather high - therefore, as a hobbyist mixer, I know for sure that I personally lack the experience required to reach anywhere close to that level. That being said, this would b...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC095 December 2023 - Mix Round 2 until until 11-JAN-2024 23:59 UTC+1/CET

@Christoph_K If you feel so inclined, would you be able to pass along some feedback on my mix please? Kinda surprised I didn't make the cut comparing to the other mixes TBH, but everyone probably thinks that heh. I'm guessing I might have pushed things too far with creative choices and missed the m...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC095 December 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

@Dodgingrain Part 1 is good, vocals are a bit sibilant though and the accordion could play a more important role to make it more interesting. Good transition to part 2. I’m not a big fan of the room the guitar sits in but I like the placement of the bouzouki. The leadvox in part 2 and 3 is too loud...

Greetings, Great track that builds well, excellent recording and the stems are in nice condition as is. Drums: Used quite a bit of L1 to push the drums, cut the far low end on the 909 that wasn't needed. The hats have a little bit of 5ms stereo delay to widen them. Otherwise mostly just standard cha...

@Christoph_K - Really great production work and great track in general. Is there any particular direction you're looking for? aka are you looking to stay true to the release mix or is there an alternate direction you're looking for?

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC094 October 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Gain staging is headroom of course, but in my case has more to do with time economy (more works in the same time) and mixer faders aesthetics. Once I had a similar approach to yours. I used to normalize all to -12dBTP. The best would be to do it after a first manual trimming of unique spikes you fi...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC094 October 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

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...
