Hi, here is my mix for R2:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/36arjg4muexla ... 2.wav?dl=0

Worked on the FX and the mid highs.
Sorry to Javi Ramallo for I couldn't do all the changes mentioned because of lack of recall system on the analog console I worked and lack of time..

Cheers, good luck to all !

Hi,
Thank you @javiramallo for the Round 2.

Here's my R2 version:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t0h9hu9m8bjn9 ... 2.wav?dl=0

Made some adjustments to accent more body for guitars. (the 1st round version had more low cut eq when the bass
instrument was present and less low cut without bass parts. And in the 1st round I just forgot the squeaky toy while I was aware that
it has to be there. There are some minor adjustments to the percussions and "aah" parts as well now. Hope it got better.

First to all, congratulations to participants who made round 2!
For all participants, it is extremely important to have at least a short feedback or comment from the song provider regarding the proposed mixes. I think this would be a very valuable output of this game/training. For future challenges, perhaps Mr. Fox would strongly suggest song providers to deliver this valuable piece of advice for round 1.
Many thanks,
Best wishes,
Pablo

Let me assure you that I keep up the conversation behind the scenes and highly encourage interaction and/to provide as much feedback as possible. However, I can't force the Song Provider to comment on every entry delivered.

This is also covered in the Rule Book post #6 (Rules for Participants, section: giving feedback to each other) and in post #7 (Evaluation Guidelines).

You can still kindly ask for some encouraging words, but if there will be none, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the opportunity @javiramallo
Congratulations to everyone for the mixes. I made some modifications that I thought were necessary. Added Chorus to Claps for more presence. Automation and clean vocals. Soft compression. A little more reverb in guitar solo. More toy sound. Tonal balance and percussion rhythms have been corrected. Hope you like it! Hugs! ✌😜🎻🎶

Hi !

Thank you Javi Ramallo for picking me for the second round ! Unfortunately the school start period took my time and i had a lot of things to do to prepare stuff for the students. I could only finish my mix now. I think i ran out of time.

Thank you for the advices. I could hear them when you mentioned them. I also tried to fix them. I used a graphic eq to adjust the balance on vocal and guitar tracks and changed some minor automations in volume. I removed 250 Hz from the vocal and matched the guitars to them. I also applied the required volume changes.
I hope i could improve it and contribute a bit to your nice production.

Here is my mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IEEt6K ... sp=sharing

Thank you again,

satch
