Thanks for the opportunity to mix this track, had a lot of fun doing it. It’s not a genre I’m used to, but I gave it my best. 
I started by grouping tracks and gain staging. Then proceeded to group tracks that had more than one mic and listening to them soloed to get a general listen. I aligned some...

Hello! Really nice song to mix, I saw some videos about @Los_ady 's project before on Youtube and was glad to be able to mix it. I downloaded and organized the tracks a few weeks ago, started to mix but had some health related problems, so I kind of abandoned it for a while. I caught up today and de...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC085 April 2022 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Yeah, same here. Sometimes my ears get too focused on certain frequencies and I get my compressor settings wrong when I listen to the tracks after a few days. Fabfilter’s compressor is a great way to visualize what is going on but it can also trick you into “not hearing” what it’s doing too. If you ...

Hello!

 First of all, thanks for the opportunity to mix this song, it was both fun and challenging. I mixed it last weekend and didn't have time to really work on it, just revised and did some changes before posting here. I'm not too happy with the vocals on this one, but at least I tried. I starte...

Hello there! Thanks for the opportunity to mix this song, it was quite a challenge and a very welcome one. The track is apparently simple but it has it's tricks. The recording could have been better (it had some issues with clipping and out of sync stuff) but I faced it as a challenge (it's the name...

Hello! Thank you for the opportunity to mix the song! It's very well recorded and fun to mix, the singer is very talented and I liked the overall feel of the song. Here's some info on the mix: Drums: - Some EQ and saturation on the kick and a slight RBass to push the lows upfront a little. Same with...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC075 April 2021 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Oh oh! Just realized my mistake! Sorry, I meant to copy and paste both a mp3 and wav version of my mix on the post. I usually provide both versions of the file so people can listen to it on mobile but pasted only one (and the wrong one) on my post. Well, there goes a few hours of work in the trash!...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC075 April 2021 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Oh oh! Just realized my mistake! Hi Cesar, I like your mix a lot, sorry for the dropout, but perhaps you get the wildcard ticket. Very clear and precise, and sounds beautiful. Personal taste, I have the following issues: The attack of the electric piano is not beautiful, many mixes have too hard at...

Thanks for the opportunity to mix this song! I really like the recording and the song in itself, very interesting melody and structure. It reminded me a lot of some songs from Apollo Sunshine and Akron/Family and I kinda used them as a reference too: Apollo Sunshine - Sheets With Stars: https://open...
