Mix Challenge

Quite simple set up. The sound is made mainly with eqs in every track and automations. DRUMS I wanted drums to create the sense of space. Some parallel compression to kick and snare. Plate and rooms to snare WIth overheads I used ReaFir to tame cymbals. BASS I used only DI. It went through bx_bassdu...

I tried to preserve the live feeling. Quite simple set up. The sound is made mainly with eqs in every track and automations. I wanted to create old time punk sound, that's why I used as reference ”Safe European Home” by The Clash. During mixing my main idea was too keep the groove and energy rolling...

I tried to create natural sound that grows from verse to chorus. I used following sub busses - drums and bass - guitars - bg voxes - main voxes First I made quick rough mix where I used just some small corrective eq moves. After that I started from main bus, continued with sub-busses, and then to tr...

For anybody who wants to hear it..Baddo, here you go as promised. My original post is updated too. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8vveeif8qfh5pi/MC044_Leonardo%20Badinella_-_Kat-Kat-Katan_-_TaureanMixing.wav?dl=0 As this mix comes outside competition I guess it’s ok to comment it as it’s not affecting ...

These tracks were pleasure to mix. While mixing I was refreshing my ears mainly with Children of Bodom and some checking against Green Door. So evidently their sonics and balances affected my mix quite much. I tried to create clear transitions from one part to another. I wanted to feel as if the son...

I use a lot of processes in parallel that go to the 2bus, and multiple plugins of the same kind doing a little work each. Should I use multiple instances of the same plugin across different tracks instead? As you were using a lot of parellel compression busses, I don’t think you could end up to the...

Thanks Jorge for insightful guidance. The transition part was clearly bad and idealess in my first mix. I renewed that part entirely with (too?) many automations and tricks. (Hopefully I didn't spoil my mix.) But otherwise I still liked the sonic idea and the multidimensional groove of my first vers...

Question about tempo change: I decided to do the linear tempo transition to the stereo mix. Not to the multitracks. I tried to ways REAPER AND STRETCH MARKERS In my limited knowledge of Reaper I was thinking that linear transition are possible only to midi files, not to audio tracks. (Actually I’m s...

My mixing procedure was quite similar to what i do with everymix: rough balance, drums, bass, kick side chaining, all the rest. I made quite much small automation here and there, but most of the are not so audible. So mainly small moves, but plenty of them. Main problem that I encountered was that I...

First of all - Congratulations to the winners! :hail: They were all great sounding masters. @3ee - I'm certain it was a difficult contest to judge and you certainly have the right to choose according to your own standards. But I did notice that none of the winners hit the Maximum allowed digital pe...
