Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC070 October 2020 - Mix Round 2 until 14-NOV-2020 23:59 UTC+1/CET

In this mix review I've tried to implement Ady and Piotr's advices and to take care of the details that I've left out in the first iteration due my limited time. I lowered the volume of the kick, especially its low end, and significantly lowered the doubler (perceived as a phaser) on the lead voice....

The mix process was based on the search of a dark, dirty, analog '80s sound. The instruments used where Neutron 3 Elements for eq and sometimes transient design, saturation and compression and FrontDAW for hi-pass and saturation. Top bottom approach, starting with buss eq and compression. Drums star...

I aproached the mix with an analog fashion, with tape and an analog modelling channel strip on every channel. I tried to enhance the depth of kick and snare, tame bass dynamics and to place every instrument in his place with the usual tools. WAV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/htmtdncy7f00rb9/MC064%20-%2...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC060 November 2019 - Submissions until 21-11-2019 11:59pm GMT+1/CET

Pretty straightforward mixing process: DRUMS : cleaning room resonances and compression, mostly on the main actors (kick and snare). A little verb on OH and a dedicated plate for the snare. BASS : opto compression e parallel distortion on hi-end. GUITARS : just eq on the bus and some reverb/delay wh...
