Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC065 May 2020 - Submissions until 21-05-2020 23:59 UTC+2/CEST
Very challenging mix as everyone knows, but very rewarding when it starts sounding polished! In order to get the vocal tuning to sound as natural as I could, I had to write automation using ReaPitch on the verses - primarily V 3 & V 4 (Lead & Double) before using MAutoPitch. The rest of the ...

I added hi & lo pass filters along with a deesser to the echo effect on the lead vox along with more automation. I hope they fit the mix better for you. I added a parallel bus for the Kick & Snare along with bumping up the Room to give you more drums - along with some automation on the paral...

Great song! A real pleasure to mix. Simply put, mostly a bit of eq, compression, and automation. No real problems to deal with. Very well recorded & produced. Of note, to control the Toms I used MultiBandGate by aixDSP. First time I've used it and had to buy it! I also am using a demo of Intensi...

Here are the notes for the remainder of entries. Hopefully I didn't leave out any valid ones and these make sense. Gary I feel like such an idiot! I was going to complain that I should have gotten a review because I wasn't disqualified, but checked my submitted wav and see it is 44100. So I did som...

Mix Notes First of all, I want to say this was a very nice song to work with other than the obvious mixing problems of printed FX, etc. The primary goal was to create a clean and punchy cinematic track. That required separating all the elements then re-gluing them together. To accomplish this took a...

First of all, let me congratulate those who made it to Round 2! Of course, I'm disappointed at not making it myself, but I'm going to weigh in on the "Rules" argument. I followed the rules and that DID NOT inhibit my mixing in any way! They are not difficult rules to follow, so what's the ...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC057 August 2019 - Submissions until 21-08-2019 11:59pm GMT+2/CEST
I really wanted to give this song the feel of being a live performance in a jazz club. I spent a lot of time with eyes closed to imagine that's where I was. It took a lot of effort to attempt to keep everything from feeling overly processed, which - in fact - it actually was. Mix Bus : bx_digital V3...

Quite a challenging mix - but very enjoyable! I didn't attempt to correct timing issues and mainly focused on tonality & balance. I did address some phase-related issues with the Bass & Snare tracks. And I split the L Vox into separate tracks for the lyrics and falsetto parts for effects aut...

Just getting in under the wire! Really enjoyed mixing this song in spite of the built-in difficulties. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :hihi: The screenshots tell most of the story without getting into too much detail. Basically a lot of EQ & compression with a bit of saturation (especiall...
