download : https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/cXyTWyNK This month it was not a mix challenge but a creativity challenge. 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...

Mostly songs with just a few tracks are challenging. This one was not. Two things needed special treatments. The first one was the peaky A-guitar. A dynamic EQ and a fast compressor did the job. Second was the back vox track. Sequences were not in time to the lead vox. I sliced the back vox track an...

A new style to mix, well done! I find the original mix quite good for that kind of music. I wanted mine quite near to the original but with more depth, width and brightness. How often, first of all, I compiled some tracks into a single track, were it made sense, the choirs, flute, bouzoucki. After c...

Hi, Here is my mix: https://my.hidrive.com/lnk/m1yT2gtU Preparation. First of all I eliminated unwanted frequencies from the guitar and piano track. This was done with a parametric EQ. After that I splitted the guitar track in a picking and a strumming part. Then I eliminated plobs and Esses from vo...

What I like with this challenge/song: It is well recorded, well performed, well arranged and a good composition. So, there is no need of fixing useless recordings, bleeds. Compensate bad arrangements, correct bad singers or exchange song parts (MC075). All time and work can be used for creativity. T...
