Hello and thanks for advancing me to round 2. Changes: Added some ore processing to the kick to beef it up. Added around 3k and compressed. Thinned out the low lids on the 808 and made it a little less overpowering. Added some space to the add libs, short delay and short reverb. Dialed back the effe...

My 2 cents:
In my experience there can be up to 0.5 db discrepancies between between different True Peak Limiters and also different Isp analyzers and metering tools. If I want to be 100% sure I don't "get measured" over -1dbTp I set to at least -1.5 db if not -2.

Hello everyone! Great challenge, thank to Mr Fox and the song provider. I had some trouble trying to decide the relationship between the 808 and the kick and how they should work together. In the end here is what I did: Kick: 1176 fast compression, boost at 90, and 3K, dbx compression 808: 1176 fast...

Hello and thanks to Isa for advancing my mix to round 2. I brought in the guitar a little with automation so hopefully it does not stick out. Tried to smooth out the marimba by a combination of level reduction and a bit of transient shaping so we get more of the body. The drums were brought down a b...

Hi everyone! Interesting and challenging mix of a track with a fresh composition and arrangement perspective. Kick: 1176 comp, eq cut some low mids Snare: dbx comp, eq add some highs Hihat and room mics: hipass filter, C2 comp on the room mics. Bass: Opto comp (C2), eq cut low mids. Guitar and Piano...

Wow!! I Ks the Ks did quite well!! :) Thank you Arnwyn for choosing my mix! Congrats to Christoph_K and WrightAudio and all fellow mixers! Great challenge and great discussion! My 2c : I think the way the drums and percussion were recorded made it tough to make them sound as an ensemble, instead of ...

Hello, and thank you for advancing me to round 2! Changes: I tried to soften the attack of the side stick so it doesn't stick out too much, while still being heard. I removed the de-esser for the vocals and tried to handle it through eq and broadband compression. I added some low-mids and widened th...
