Mix Challenge

One of the best songs here. I wanted the mix to sound more open as the original mix. I did this using panning and reverb. Further, I tried to avoid the instruments masking each other. How? Via EQ. Every instrument group is separated in a group folder, guitars, bass, drums, key, vox and backing. Each...

Hi there, as the song provider wrote "... it is all about energy ...", in the face of max -16 LUFS :hihi: it's not to say much about the mixing process. the tracks were recorded well, and properly laid out, no hurdles so far. so all i have done is straight forward. EQing, compressing, reve...

Thank you for choosing me into Round 2. first of all I reworked the bass, to get the sound more prominent, but filling his space. Second I examined the drums. all in all, now it has a bit more width. Third, the back vocals were moved up in level to help the vocal parts to be more present. Also I cha...

Here the fiel: https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/YNcnqCrMB The most interesting part here are the vocals. To get a good balance of all the tracks was the job. I hope I got the job done well. Most of the instrumentals tracks I use a strip of a pultec type EQ and a tube compressor. this worked well for this ...

After reading the lyrics and listening to the provider mix I had immediately in mind - this is a case for a cinematic approach, not a normal mixing task. Tell a story, paint a picture, cr...

Here is the mix: https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/WISTW0y6 Bass: routed the two tracks Amp and DI together to taste. The destination track was split into a high track and a low track. So I am able to change the highs and lows of the bass according to the song part. These two tracks were grouped to a bass ...

I congratulate you to this song. I am a big Queen fan, and I was instantly reminded to their songs from the early 70ties. According to this starting point, I think is the mix. I did nothing special in this mix, there nothing to fix surgical, cause of the well done recording. But I tried a new method...

Hello, https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/ufyzWElG I wanted the song a bit more Grunge than HardRock. The Melody isnt that typical for HardRock. Vocals and Bass weren't a big issue. Just a bit Eqing and compressing. A bit more work was needed with the drums. Just Eqing and compressing, but it took some time...

https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/xdyTWZaL As always, i loaded all the tracks in my DAW. After that, I listen to all the tracks to see/hear what is given by the song provider. The first important step is to decide, what are the leading instruments for my mix version of the song. I always choose 3 instrume...

First of all I must say, that this by far the challenge I hat the most fun. All is well done, arrangement and recordings fit very well together. So no wonder, that I had the instrument mix ready after half an hour. The challenging thing were the vocals. What track is what playing and when and what i...
