Mix Challenge

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...

Hi everyone, My apologies, unfortunately I didn't get around to entering this month's SWC but thought I'd give everyone some bonus feedback anyway as you've all done a great job with your compositions and I've really enjoyed listening to them all. Welcome also to the new members this month. APi_ZZ -...

Actually, loudness fluctuations measured with EBU R128 or ITU-R BS.1770-1+ are noted down in +- <value> LU, not dB (relative) or dBFS (absolute).

Exactly

So, the rules can be summarised quite easily: - true peak: -1dB max (and -6dB min to avoid a bit depth drop) - integrated LUFS: -16dB max I feel I should mention that the integrated LUFS limit shouldn't strictly be written as -16dB, but -16 LUFS only. While it's true that 1 loudness unit is 1dB (IE...

Hi everyone It's great to be back participating in the challenges this month. A Future in Noise , thank you for doing the honours and keeping the challenge alive. The song is a fantastic arrangement and when everything is put together it truly comes alive with a 70s vibe, so this is the sound I aime...

@BenjiRage So I gave your track a proper listen, and despite my 'dislike' for the 80's (lol) it's a really solid track. I don't actually dislike the 80's, I just don't like when it's a recreation of that sound. Like when an artist does a 1 to 1 cover of a song. If you aren't going to add anything n...

I'm not sure how I managed to miss your entry; sorry about that. I listened through my phone (sounded good there) but I'll give it a proper listen when I get home. Ah don't worry about it, I'm just glad to know it wasn't intentional and it did provide some pretty cool jeopardy and excitement to the...

Thank you everyone for your invaluable feedback. I have to admit it was a little disheartening to be overlooked by Arelem (I don't know whether this was intentional, but I know you're not the biggest fan of the 80s sound! :lol:); nevertheless FixInTheMix you are a very worthy winner and your submiss...

It's been great to get back in the action this month. I wasn't completely sure if I'd have my track finished in time as I was still frantically bouncing mixes and tweaking things yesterday evening. Even now I listen back and hear things I want to tweak further. So that's definitely a take away for m...

Hi all, long time no post! Apologies for my recent absence, it's been a bit of a crazy and turbulent year so far and I haven't been able to find the time to enter any of the last few song or mix challenges. However, when I saw that this month's theme was Synthwave I just had to make some time and ha...
