Mix Challenge

Thank you for selecting my mix Mellow Browne.

This was the first time that I've mixed a trap song, I usually produce and mix other kinds of electronic music.

For the prize I select the Kilohearts Sound Design Playground Bundle.

Hey,

thanks for second place!
I have to say, I'm quite surprised about the feedback regarding the vocal sound. But I know I tend to mix more on the warm side. This is helpful and I will dig into it.

Although feedback like that is the real prize here, I'll take Nugen MasterCheck

Would love to participate more in the general discussions here, but having a one year old son, I just don't have the time.
Regarding only using stock plugins like Mellow talks about - basically I agree, but I think one should know the "tools of the trade" and at least demo the plugins of interest. BUT - and this is the advice I sadly didn't follow myself - do blind A/B or ABX tests. You will know which plugins are the keepers for sure, but for 99.9% all the magic and fairy dust will just go poof. Apart from workflow, blind A/B tests were the reason I got rid of all my hardware (good stuff like WesAudio Prometheus, SSL Six, SSL E Hardware EQ and lots more). All the "spaciousness, extra 3D width, warmth, it's so musical, it never sounds bad"... poof

Hi everyone,

Many thanks to Mellow Browne for the feedback and for having placed my mix on the podium.

Regarding the bonus prize, I will take Acon Digital DeVerberate.

See you in the next challenge!
