Mix Challenge

. This is the soundtrack to a short cartoon about bats in an evil castle that attacks musicians. https://soundcloud.com/user-393341653/swc074_afutureinnoise_behindthescenes DAW: REAPER Instrument: A saw. (I only managed to get two tones out of the saw, so Shortcircuit had to do the rest.) Plugins: ...

[EDIT:] It's now possible to download a document directly from the website. It's a shorter version, however, 31 pages instead of 62. [/EDIT] I received an email from a company/site called Mastering The Mix a week or so ago. It concerns a competition that deals with "stem mastering". In add...

Doc Jon Seen from a rhythmic point of view, your submission is appealing. Also, there's a very melancholic feel to the chorus, which goes well with the sadness of AI and therapy. But there is one thing that makes it very difficult to judge your entry: I can hardly hear your vocal job at all. Even i...

I wrote like this last night: "Un-cryptisize activities is a crucial thing...". I'm not at all sure this is comprehensible English ??? It would probably have been better to put it this way: Lyrics that are written straight to the point, with wording reminiscent of those in a technical manu...

I'll try and explain what I did... I think I understand your long explanation, but I had to read it at least five times. Anyway, you are a very talented musician.

The choir is great. How did you produce that? It's me who sings two voices. (Or should I use the word 'parts'? I'm pretty sure 'Stimmen' is the correct word in German.) Then I used Elastique to raise both voices/Stimmen an octave (ie: I sang the first two parts one more time, before raising an octa...

As often seems to be the case with a picture for inspiration people will interpret the same photo in many different ways giving a huge variation in styles this month making it very difficult to judge one against the other! Very true. In fact, as I happen to be a member of a Facebook group named ~th...
