Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC081 October 2021 - Mix Round 2 until 16-NOV-2021 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Hi ! After I listen it again yes I think too that my first mix was muddy. So I did some changes to the EQs of the instruments. I didn’t just put an EQ to the master channel and bring the highs, I wanted to be a better mix with more clarity of the instruments with the same dark sound. Link: https://w...

Hi ! From the first minute I started the rough mix I really enjoyed that one. Nice Recording. I always do a rough mix first to understand the parts, and get the feeling of the song. For the processing I only used simple stuff like Compressors, Gates, EQs and FX. I didn’t do any sound-engineering sec...

Hi to all! I always do a rough mix first to get to know the song better, understand the parts, and get the feeling of how the elements. Then I get into the processing of stuff. I do not need a bunch of plugins and do sound-engineering secrets and methods. Just an EQ, a gate and a Compressor and FX. ...

Hi ! This time I’ve mixed that one on an analog console, that’ why I’m not attaching any print screen of the DAW. I had only 3hours free from the owner of the studio so that was one shot mix..if I had only another half an hour I could give more attention to the FX channels which I left unprocessed.....

Hi everybody! First Ι did a rough mix. That gets me to know the song better, to understand the parts, and to give me a feeling of how the elements of the song should sound to my ears. Then I get into the processing of stuff. I love working with channel strip plugins which have the flow of a real ana...

Hi everybody! I’ll try to explain my philosophy of how I did my mix. I won’t get into details on how many dBs I raised the EQ on 1KHz at such stuff because I think is pointless.. I don’t believe there is a learning process (if you liked my mix) when telling numbers and which algorithm of reverb you ...

Hi everybody, here is my mix: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8dy2dzkrk640rht/MC071_DigitalGenes_BlueInGrey_Doobop.wav?dl=0 I've imagined this song without many reverbs and fx. So I took some kind of a dry approach.. I used a lot of EQ and Comps and short spaces. Screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ekxo...

Hey everybody! I've tried to give some kind of atmosphere for this one. For the guitars I've kept only the Riviera mics, and I only exclude the floor mic from the Drums. The procedure was pretty straight forward for everything else, lots of dynamics and EQ and two Reverb algorithms. Mix: https://www...

Hi everybody, here is my mix done in Logic Pro X. I've tried to make everything cut through mix and be heard easily, using mostly EQ and dynamics. Also I've tried to emphasize that dark feeling I got to my ears while I was mixing. For that I used Reverbs and Chorus only for the Vox. Mix: https://www...
