A friendly reminder:
We're in the final 24 hours to submit your mix.


So far, we have 65 entries (compared to 118 Mix Pack downloads).

If you've been sitting on your mix, now is the time to get everything sorted out, post both your link and documentation. Please pay attention to detail. Do not put your entry at risk of being disqualified.



There are several mixes submitted that do not adhere to the given filename specs, or are even accessible to download. Mostly from new participants. This is a one-time warning (again): you can edit your filename on the uploaded service without changing anything else. Do this by the time the deadline has been reached. No re-uploads - your submission is final (I got all files downloaded up until this point, I can and will double check this).

Also try to prevent to post at the very last minute to not run into server issues (see Global Countdown).

There will be no deadline extension!



Let the submission's "final rush" commence...

Hello everyone!

Thank you Mr Fox and Mellow Brown for the opportunity.
Here's my mix:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/12RP8Ps ... sp=sharing

Restricted the width of some stereo tracks sand panned them a bit around to get more width play. On others, I’ve enhanced the width to gain space at the center, with phase manipulation and mid/side compression (Clean bells and low lead).
Shaved, with volume automation, the attack of the 808 when it hits at the same time as the kick.
Tried to give more attack and presence to the 808 with some more saturation and compression.
Several layers of compression and saturation on vocals, on tracks and parallel tracks. Most of the “music” tracks have just equalization. Some compression on flute to even out dynamics.
Some fun with delays and reverbs, filters, and some playing with texture with volume and mute automation.
All Keys are routed to a “music” bus, all voices bussed too. Drum Bus is a bit Mid/Side compressed. All “music” is sent to a parallel compression bus with a bit of vocals too, drum bus and 808 are also sent to a parallel compression bus, for some density and interplay. For that same effect and some color, some clipping, compression, tape saturation and limiting on the master bus. Waves NLS on every bus for some color and supposedly some non linearity magic. I don't know, I like it. Hope you like it too.
