Mix Challenge

Wow, what a great song with really emotional lyrics. I really like the atmosphere of the original mix, so I didn't try to imitate it. I wanted a somewhat modern sound without losing the vibes. A bit more pop, without giving up the dark atmosphere. I hope I've come a little close to that goal. I like...

@Mister Fox Hi, just a technical question: Normally we should deliver the master here in the same resolution and bitrate as the provided tracks. The "General Information.txt" says they are in the following format: File Format: WAV, 44kHz, 16bit I legit had to check multiple times that I d...

Mister Fox Hi, just a technical question: Normally we should deliver the master here in the same resolution and bitrate as the provided tracks. The "General Information.txt" says they are in the following format: File Format: WAV, 44kHz, 16bit But my audio editor reads the files as 44.1Kh...

My approach was to give the song a suitable atmosphere regardless of attributes such as vintage or modern (which ultimately don't have much impact). For me it was more of a quiet, calm song, with a clear focus on the female singer's wonderful voice. The first thing was to give the synthetic/digital ...

Hi all, I have always believed that modern music should have a bigger dynamic range, classical music benefits so much from this and I feel like it's been long forgotten, it's become normal that we expect limited dynamics from pop/rock/dance etc. On this tune we can see some of the challenges of a m...

First of all, many thanks to the song provider Gaz and also Mr Fox for providing us with this great song to mix. It was a great pleasure to be able to work with these highly dynamic and very musical tracks. Here is my mix: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tbp6p4j55795akp88c9xs/MC093__Rocketgoldstar__B...

Charm or perfection - quite the challenge, isn't it?

Thanks again,
well, for that kind of song, "charm" (or atmosphere) is of course the way to go. It was just that clean demo, that let me thought there must be a way to eliminate the noises

This is where reading the TXTs/Words from the Song Provider come in: The time aligned version is from demo recordings from as early as 2009 (it's only available for completeness sake). The version you folks have access to, are recordings from 2019. The Youtube video in post #002 reflects a more mod...

I know that the tracks may differ from those used in the original demo, but the difference is sometimes quite significant: The piano has a recurring "crackle" sound (something mechanical) and the vocal track has distortion around 2kHz. You can hear this especially at the very beginning of ...

The song was actually also used for two hardware reviews (the Steinberg AXR4, and the LEWITT Microphone range). Gaz tried this microphone feature to see "what is possible". The best part here is, with the "Polarizer Version" of the multi-tracks, that you can decide what polar pa...
