Mix Challenge

Below is my submission for MC053. This is my 1st run at a more "heavy" sound. It's not usually in my wheelhouse, and I learned quite a lot in the process. Thanks for submitting this tune! It was really fun to work with and I enjoyed listening to it. I listened to Foo Fighters, Audioslave, ...

Thanks for providing feedback and all the time spent analyzing all the mixes.. I really like the spreadsheet idea. It's nice to see the rankings to see where I ended up. Congrats to all those moving on to round 2!

This was FUN! Nice gritty punk rock. Love it!

Just tried to keep it raw and punchy without too much verb or effects. He...

Wow - these are great submissions!!! Thanks to all who competed in this "mix-off". I know it had to be challenging to get something good from these lackluster tracks. You guys did GREAT! Although OctopusOnFire and Delicate weren't able to send in round 2 submissions, I did use their 1st su...

OK, Finally had some time to devote toward getting the 1st round winners announced. I'm really sorry for the delay. Holidays combined with other things that caught me by surprise delayed my ability to get this done in a timely manner. I apologize to all. It was a really hard thing to do. There were ...

The way I am judging is as follows: I've uploaded all files into reaper into seperate tracks and aligned them the best that I could. I've inserted Youlean loudness meter on each track, and ran the songs thru to check the LUFS reading. I then adjusted the faders of each track so that each version ha...

Hey all! I wanted to pop in and say WOW!!! - so many great mixes of my song. I've been trying to narrow the field for the 2nd round, and it is NOT an easy task! Thanks for all who participated - all 53 entries!!! I know this was a nightmare to fix, in that it was not recorded (or performed) all that...

Great blues song to work on this time around. It was fun! Here's my submission: Good luck to everyone.

GGermaine - sorry, really not a fan of the intro and all the other effects - balance of the male and female vocal is good - Kick is too dominant, especially in the beginning - Bass though seems somewhat tame - Chorus needs more impact, dynamic difference between verses and chorus isn't there - I do...

Just a heads up: as some of the files so far where 48khz: I will load all of them in one project for comparison. Any 48Khz file i will send ruthlessly through Cubase's SR converter. I doubt that that will noticeably degrade the audio quality (even more that I'd be able to hear it), even though Cuba...
