Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC093 August 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

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 :wink:

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...

Wow, that's a great song (I feel taken back to my youth ;-) ). Also great recorded. That's interesting with the Polarize Mic/Plugin. So we can change the polar pattern electronically. So use the proximity effect of a mic with a cardioid pattern and still make it sound like it was recorded omnidirect...

What a great song! I was immediately reminded of The Who and Nirvana. Here is my mix: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8u0q6676pbrqhw/MC091__SilverStoned__EyeOfTheNeedle__TomImmon.wav?dl=0 Drums: For the snare I first duplicated the track and used extreme EQ and transients to turn it into a gate track for...

What a great song. A real pop gem. The hook line definitely has potential for a hit. It was a lot of fun mixing these very well recorded tracks.
