Mix Challenge

As always, thank you Jorgeelalto and Mister Fox for another round of Mix Challenge. I'm not too familiar mixing this genre, so I decided not to stray too far from the (already excellent) ref. Just going for more/different spaces and hoping to improve on the articulation of some things here and there...

@jw_ One of the best feelings in part 1 and 2 in your mix, nailed it! There is some noise in the intro though. Great transition to part 2. I dig the FX in part 2, very tasty, gives me goosebumps. The brass swell is to low and the cinematic percussion is not hitting hard enough (too muffled). The 90...

Thanks for the feedback. Can anyone clarify - is there a specific filename template to use for the mix revision for round 2? As far as I know, one cannot have identical filenames when uploading to googledrive. This would mean the original uploaded mix would need to be removed. I may be wrong though...

@TrueFlowStudio, I think you need to fix access to your google drive, don't seem to be able to listen to your mix.

I remember only having to split some of the bouzoukis (probably the reverse stuff). My mission this month was to emphasise the tr...

Thank you again Gaz for giving us the opportunity to mix your music! It was an excellent challenge and I am obviously glad you deemed my efforts worthy. And of course, thank you Mister Fox for the presumably tremendous amount of unpaid work it takes to keep this site going. My prize of choice is the...

That intro bit, I agree. I just failed (or forgot) to address the issue as it also bothered me. Unusual though that it's not noticeable while on my DAW (reaper), but I do notice it when I'm reviewing the mix through VLC, foobar2000, or my phone. In any case, if I do proceed to R2, that will be addr...

Thanks BenjiRage for the tracks, learnt a lot about my ineptitude at modern pop punk from mixing it. :wink: And here's my mix. Don't have too much time to talk about my approach but I'll try as best I can. Because the demo was quite good already and I did not feel I could do something substantially ...

Thank you for selecting my mix for the top15! Here's round 2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B0Y3IlBs4tDVk7He-PX5VGlPHtUFNxFx/view?usp=drive_link and this is what I did: -air air air -tamed drums -more reverse piano reverb in the jazzy section -bass tremolo in the jazzy section -more verb in the b...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tFImeSUmRBhQYTbKq8BQxby7cxA4sPHZ/view?usp=drive_link Another thank you to Gaz for the multitracks. Growing up, I listened to lots of 70s Prog Rock which, as a child of the 90s, somehow did not serve to increase my coolness all that much in the eyes of my peers. Anywa...
