Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC097 April 2024 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Congratulations to the 15! Quite a broad selection in many ways but if there's one thing I hear immediately it's that you all achieved great vocal clarity. Thanks to @A Future in Noise for providing the track and also for the explanation of your judging methodology. I could already see where I'd gon...

Automation - the artistic / emotional part of mixing, leading the listener through the arrangement. We poor humans can't take in too much at once if there's a lot happening, but if our attention is drawn to one or two things at a time (in addition to the vocals, groove), we enjoy that, usually with...

7 Automation and more automation. Get the nice short notes or a hit or two on a drum come forward to spice up the listeners experience of the song. Tips, the brass at the end. This is definitely something to ponder on :tu: Yes it is. Like most here I'm learning - there is a lot to learn. This is th...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC097 April 2024 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Hi, do I understand correctly that my submission has been lost due to lack of description and lack of downloadability? Even if I had done it now as required 😉 ? I promise to stick to all the rules next time 😁 It's a pity that such a Mix was lost😉 Your mix is not lost, but if picked you will have to...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC097 April 2024 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Hello everyone! I don't want to be a fusspot, but in @Green-Dogs entry not only the first eighth note from the electric piano is missing - but also the first eighth notes from both guitars (that is one bar later). Whether this leads to this minimal change being seen as "re-arrangement" in...

Hi, It's quite tricky to figure out what's going on, but perhaps you could disable the whole mixbus and then just put the peaks below -1 by gain staging and then upload this mix to a public folder and we can listen to whether it sounds much different.

Thanks very much malene, I notice that you didn't submit an entry for this challenge, but I hope that you have given it a go because it's an ideal project for learning mixing as we all are here.
