Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC098 June 2024 - Submissions until 21-JUN-2024 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

Here´s my mix. In the text file it says deliver 24Bit but if I remember correctly it also always says "deliver in the source format provided" which is 16Bit in this case. Therefore I rendered 16Bit. If that's somehow wrong please chime in and I will deliver 24Bit. You can find it in post ...

Hi Per, I followed your directions and created this revision of the mix. Here are some notes of my work: First of all, the electric bass was already very powerfull so didn’t need more volume to be more audible.

Hi Per, Thank you for giving me the oppurtonity to improve my mix in round 2 and also thanks for your detailed feedback. I think I have a good feeling where I can improve my mix. Just one question: "Backing vocals: good with no oddities. Audible, but just barely so, lower voice in the choruses ...

Hi all, First of all my thanks to the songprovider Per Bellener and Mr Fox. This is a very strong piece of music.

Hello Everyone, I've been absent for a bit; I had a lot going on. For this month's theme/genre, I struggled a little bit because I'm not a fan of synth-wave in particular.

Could it be that the percussion is the same throughout the whole track? Some breaks would have increased the dramatic emphasis.
