Mix Challenge

Hi everyone, Thanks for providing this cool song. Really enjoyed mixing it, because it was both hard and easy at the same time :D The mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18AgiN8w9CEgajQKu1NAtal0k-yHznsqw/view?usp=sharing After hearing the song, I believed spotlighting the vocal (harmonies) would be...

Thanks Mister Fox for the feedback! As with "life happens", I feel ya, don't sweat it and I hope your doing well. I don't know if double bass can/should be audible on small speakers. In my piece, I don't think they have a very important function, since both bass and melody mainly follow th...

Nice going all! I was making notes when listening, so might as well share them with you as feedback. I try to be as nuanced and honest as possible. It’s intended to be helpful. That can of course still mean that you don’t agree on all points, and that’s completely fine. Because it’s just my opinion,...

Thanks Mister Fox for still giving some feedback. Is sure would've like to submit it sooner, but I only saw and started the challenge on friday. So I cleared up some mud (lows and lo-mids) in pretty much all elements in the finale. Reduced the tail of the snare. Made the sub bass duck and dance a li...

Hi there fellow music makers, Here I will explain a bit about my process and choices rather than focusing on the specific gear used. I chose A minor, because then you can use the open strings on the guitar, which gives that extra twang. For that classic Western vibe I used the Dorian mode, instead o...

Thanks for the feedback! When you said you’d like crispier vocals, I realised the whole mix could use a bit more sparkle and clarity. So I cut some lo-mids and mids from some synths. Added some bottom and top to the kick. To make the toms thicker, I let the reverb on it come through (less gated) mor...

Dear fellows, Here you can find my mix https://drive.google.com/file/d/1txG4kJeJFmuscjICEwzca0WorjRzXm_4/view?usp=sharing You will probably benefit more from reading about my approach and process to this mix, instead of a list of plugins I used. So here it goes: The tracks already have quite some sa...

Hey Christoph_K , Thanks again for all the thorough feedback and I'm glad you like the mix! There's is a lot I've learned while mixing this song. Since I have more experience with mixing acoustic instruments. The Acon Digital Restoration Suite will be my prize of choice. And of course, thanks Mister...

Here is my submission for Round 3: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CnJfIixFJgVe1qVUGrAQZA5JCoPAHhaT/view?usp=sharing Below are the adjustments I made: The ab libs are now taking the spotlight whenever they’re able! The harshness you mentioned in the verse/pre vocals was primarily on the “ee” vowels...

Thanks Christoph_K once again for the detailed feedback! Do I understand correctly that you want the Ad Lib vocal to serve as a lead when she sings "here we go again"? The "Hey yeah" ad libs are going on while the actual lead vocal is going, so I think I will keep those slightly ...
