Mix Challenge

Some of you are probably already covered with regards to comparison-tools, but if not, I really enjoy using Reference by MasteringTheMix. I loaded your mixes into the tool and let it autoalign + autogain. Great as always to hear the difference in sound:

Next up in line is Henrik Hjortnaes.

My pick is HoRNet Multicomp Plus MK2.

Leo, thank you for an amazing job on the feedback. I read every bit of it with great interest and I was surprised and pleased with your structured approach.

Congrats to Mork and Rogro and so cool to hear the mixes from everybody here.

Henrik Hjortnaes Listening a little closer, I hear some slight crackling sometimes in my R2 mix unfortunately. I'm not sure what it is (gain staging is fully under control), but the session did max out the CPU during the bounce, so it may be due to a computer on the verge of collapse. Well, too lat...

Amazing effort, Leo. Thank you. I felt the delay in evaluating R1 as others did, but it takes nothing away from your tremedous feedback.

Henrik, now that the challenge is over I am really interested in how you got this "slipknotty" (yes, it's a word!) drums where every drum hit has that same click on top. Is it just saturation/distorton? But first you would need a transient to clip, so Transient Designer into distortion? :...

Here is my Round 2 mix. Baddo, I addressed all the findings you noted. Maybe not to your liking, as the language of sound is not set in stone. You, noting the dull section shows phenomenal attention to detail. A snare that "could be better" leaves a lot to the imagination, so I just did wh...

I think that maybe Henrik meant that when we mix, we do not only apply taste differences, but decisions based on our listening equipment and room interactions. So the huge differences appear also based on that. This is what I think, whatever Henrik meant. :) Yes, Kevin. That's what I meant. I think...

I agree, the difference is huge - to the point where I'm thinking that this cannot be down to taste only. It has to be down to monitoring environment.
