My god... Beautiful song !

Thank you, GeLym!

Glad to be back here after a longer pause, I've learned a lot from previous mix challenges!
Excited to hear what you all come up with!

Well, this was once again a pleasant experience, albeit lots of work (as for all of you, too, im sure), hope to see/hear you next time!

And thank you very much Fese :hug: I am very happy to reached second place (or any of the first three on another day) :grin: I do a lot of mixes just for fun and training with multitracks from different web-sources. But I never get a response for those. What I like here in this contest is the chanc...

Good question fese, and one of the hardest to answer in a general manner. :hmmm: I know that´s not what most people want to hear, but in fact experience and practice are really the most important things. Everyone of us is constantly learning and getting better and I actually think your mixes are no...

Those were really good mixes in the second round, not much to complain. Still very different approaches, all valid, and that made it really hard to decide. Good job all around! So every comment that follows is mostly a taste thing. photonic - something bugs me about the picked strat, feels a little ...

Don't know if anyone cares, but I took the chance do completely redo my own mix. Listening to all your mixes and reading the descriptions was again really helpful and I think/hope my mix improved.

It´s been a fight to remove the harshness from the tracks and don´t make it sound muffled and dull at the same time, pretty much like Mork said already. I also suspect the tracks may have been recorded with a cheap mic/preamp combination and also had some saturation in it (one of the not so pleasin...

Thanks for the feedback, I've got to clarify one thing, though: - The main acoustic (not the solo one, I suppose), I widened it to open up space for the solo acoustic and voice, but it's panned dead center. I was envisioning a singer/songwriter playing the guitar and singing in the center. If you w...

Sorry, fese, but i thought you should give us this instruction ( Call it vintage, if you like. Not too bright and modern) at the start of Challenge, not (a big spacious sound without being artificial, a lush but natural sound). Vintage sound never was spacious and lush. However - nothing personal) ...
