Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC092 June 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Hi all, with the bleed I was finding that the balance was difficult to get right because if you put the instruments where you think they should be, suddenly there's way too much Cajon, so you turn the Cajon down, but then you find you're at zero with the Cajon bus and still too much. Then you realis...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC091 April 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Hi all, I wonder if the influx of new Mix Challengers is anything to do with the recent shut down of metapop.com? I know that was a different concept but was a large community and surely some people looking for a new place to go? Anyway great to see loads of new players, all we need now is some mate...

Hi all, had great fun with this one, but not so much time sadly. My main change was to try to create a wall of sound with the guitars, a bit like Husker Du. I achieved this using the fabfilter saturn plugin, 'stoner amp' preset. Once that was in place, I tried to tailor the rest of the sound to fit ...

Hi floodo, I really love what you've done, never heard anything quite like it or heard of this technique! Please could you tell me what are the settings on the soothe plugins? Cheers First of all thanks for sharing, to start I borrowed a technique from a friend, before starting to mix he normalizes ...

Hi,
My personal approach
EQ every track
COMP DRUMS, VOCAL BASS, GTR AND BACK
COMP ON MASTER AND CLIP @-0.1

Nice track :)

Hi all, Again, absolutely loved working on this song, I think I done myself hearing damage with how loud I had it towards the end ;) Anyway, I hope you like my revisions. The general feedback seemed to be that things were a bit hidden/not upfront enough, so I reviewed all the EQ and made some adjust...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC089 December 2022 - Mix Round 2 until until 20-JAN-2023 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Hmm. I think the most creative approach is to create an own mix according to taste from scratch (like I did). You wrote by yourself in the description 'The songs were mixed by me while I was finishing off my mixing course.' and there're actually some obvious mixing-mistakes like the distorting righ...
