Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2018 02:18 CEST
Hello and welcome to the Mix Challenge 046 - August 2018
This is the introduction post, where we directly link to the challenge corresponding files (source files, submission information, sponsors), start of the evaluation process and the first post for re-submissions for Mix Round 2.
This month, we have a chance to work on a Punk Rock production by the band "Danny & the Deadbeats". The song is called "Margarita", is about 13 years old and can't be anymore "punk" than it is.
The challenge of this month, is to work with the given material. The guitars are "printed", the drums have a ton of microphone bleeding. One of the biggest requests in recent months, was the ability to use "drum sample triggering". Wish granted, you can use drum sample triggering. With one caveat - no full replacement, only use the samples as supplement.
Read more about the production below, and in the bundled TXTs.
Please take note of the following
Also please take note of the following
This post will be updated with the corresponding links as we progress, and of course the suitable thread headlines. So please watch this spot:

Please take note of the following
- IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to provide WAV files (FLAC bar minimum on low internet bandwidth), files need to be accessible/downloadable, try to work within suitable work levels, document your edits (as simple or as detailed as you like)
IMPORTANT: please use the following naming convention: MC000_-_ArtistName_-_TrackName_-_ContestanttName.wav/mp3 and MC000_-_ArtistName_-_TrackName_-_ContestanttName_R2.wav/mp3 for Mix Round 2. The order of the tags might change in upcoming challenges - though this is up for debate - It is highly encouraged to give feedback to each other, to share tips and tricks. Ideally, this should happen after Mix Round 1 has ended, to not influence each other during the main competition round
Also please take note of the following
