Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

I would really like to hear from the participants of round two what they did to the vocals (mine and Susan's), especially EQ-wise, because that is something I really struggled with in my mix (and still do), and you lot did a great job there.

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

So why even bother if one of the two can't be heard? Of course, re-recording the vocal would obviously be the best thing to do, but I don't think we have that option (or do we? :hihi: ). If you can find really good musicians to re-record this song in a proper studio, go ahead! I have no illusions r...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Feel free to ask if I made myself unclear. I find it not easy to describe sound and ideas of sound with words.

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

And finally - tadah - the contestants for round two: Jerze - well balanced in every dimension - warm and round and cozy - I tried a little cut on the mix at 7K and I found the cymbals in the chorus got a little bit rounder and less annoying - both the solo guitar and accordion on the center feels su...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Some general notes for round 2: After listening to all these different mixes, these are some points I realized are important to me: very often the drums are too dominant. I don't feel that the drums are the most important part of the song. I mentioned Pink Floyd's "Us and them" as kind of...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

So here are the mixes that didn't make it to the next round. Thanks for all your work, and I tried to give everyone a little bit of feedback. If you're not in here, it was just plain oversight... JonasLasse - warm and round sound, level balance is mostly fine - like the solo acoustic guitar sound - ...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Phew, that was a lot of work! :help: The overall quality of mixes was really high, very often I couldn't find any real technical problems or glaring mistakes. That made the decision process rather difficult, there were a lot of close calls. I initially tried using a scientifically valid statisticall...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Mork wrote: Regarding the waltz, I am talking about the rhythm. It’s like one - two- three, one - two - three (Uff-Ta-Ta is a german thing i guess). I found that groove to be lost in the original mix, mainly because the Keyboard was all „washed out“ (chorus, delay, ?), but besides the HiHat it real...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC048 October 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Hi all, first, thanks to all of you for taking part and for the nice words about my song! I've counted 52 files, which is a sh*load and frankly it's bit overwhelming. In the past mix challenges I provided a song for I tried to comment on every entry, but I cannot see me doing this for 50+ tracks. Ho...
