Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC096 February 2024 - Mix Round 2 until 12-MAR-2024 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Thank you for having me to the second round !! I tried to boost a bit the clarity on everything, and adjusted the bass to taste, I multiband compressed the low end to assure a better consistency all around, I fixed the ride fx, adding some kind of distortion (FM & AM) and automating the phaser f...

So glad to mix some electro this time ! Very nice track again. Sadly no time to add transition FX, so I post the mix "dry" I did mainly stereo compatibility stuff, saturation on some elements like the retro bass, reverb on some elements, API compression on the beat, Vari Mu compression on ...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC092 June 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

I wasn't aware of the silence cut rule.... I had some annoying noise at the beginning and the end due to some processing, so I just trimmed the parts without music... (after trying to pinpoint the issue over many tracks, and the noise was still there) Got a yellow line for that but my mix passed an...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC092 June 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Is there a place where we can find all the links submitted for each contests ? I'm willing to give a listen to PistolPete's mix but I have to read maybe 10 pages of posts in order to find it :) It is interesting to compare mixing environments/tools used. Personally I mix in my living room, untreated...

Hi all ! Glad to participate again. Very good recordings to work with despite the bleed and cool track, very bouncy ^^ I tried to keep the ambiance from the bleed but I tamed it here and there with transient designers. I parallel compressed the beat to give it more punch and grit. I added some ambia...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC091 April 2023 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Great and interesting discussions, sadly I don't have too much time to post, but I enjoyed the reading ^^ About the drums, I wasn't sure if we were allowed to make them more fitting in the "grid", and it would have been hard I guess since the tempo varies over time (maybe each parts is qui...
