My entry Let's start with the basics: I mixed the song with Reaper. Most of the tracks have a instance of MAutoDynamicEq. The project is divided into a busses: drums, bass, guitars, keys vocals and effect. All busses go inside the master buss. On the master bus there are an Acustica Celestial for s...

In my mixing process, I predominantly used MAutoDynamicEQ for equalizing all tracks. On some tracks, I also employed the Lindell 50 Channel to add color, equalize, and compress. For the drums, I applied Unfiltered Audio Zip on the snare, Gem Comp LA on the toms, and MTurbocompressor in Distressor mo...

Having the track a organic music feel, my main focus was to make all the tracks sound coherent sounding, especially to make the various percussive samples sound like real drums. To do this I dosed compression, eq, transient shapers and room verbs to give cohesion to everything. A virtual amp, distor...

The aim of the mix was to make every instrument clear to find in the mix and to give a vintage sound as expected for the genre. To do this I mostly used analog emulations and a top down and bass heavy mixing approach. DRUMS: On the drum bus I used an API 2500 compressor emulation from Lindell and a ...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC094 October 2023 - Mix Round 2 until until 04-NOV-2023 23:59 UTC+1/CET
Hi, for this review I implemented all of Benji suggestions, in particular: Enhanced Snare transient attack whilst making it take less space in the mix. Kick and cymbals presence increased. More hi-end to guitars after selecting the more musical boost (Acustica Eminence 7k node). Bass tone slightly r...

All eq tasks are done with the Lindell 20 channel strip for broad strokes (after compression) and MDynamicEq, mostly before compression DRUMS Kick: the usual low-mids cleaning, a bit of compression with the Neve emulation in the Melda MTurbCompressor Snare: high-passing the snare bottom to leave the...

I didn't expect to find a prog-rock piece here and here we are. Fun but challenging job. DRUMS: kick and snare gating, otherwise Focusrite channel strip on each track used for color and eq, 1176 and dbx-160 emulations used for compression BASS: mostly shaping and compression via LA-2A emulation GUIT...

Compressors used where mostly analog emulations by IK Multimedia and Plugin-Alliance. DRUMS: Fattening the kick and shaping drums mostrly...

Basically followed Jeroen suggestions: Added a db of volume to the choruses and added width to the guitars in the choruses Lowered vocal loudness in the bridge Additional balancing/cleaning, a bit more fatness to guitars, definition to keyboard parts and more cleaning to cymbals spill in drums track...

Hi all! This mix effort was focus especially on cleaning the drums from cymbals bleedings and fixing some groowing things in the guitar riffs, otherwhise the sounds where good and the playing likewise. MASTER: Black Box set to bright and saturate the whole track (lowering the density a bit). Then so...
