Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

Just while I think of it, I might have a connection to some high quality source material (not mine) but I'll need to check with the artists if they're ok with opening it up to Mix Challenge pre-release. I'll be speaking with them next week so will update you when I hear back. No promises though!

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

This is where there seem to be some misconceptions that "giving feedback-for-all was always the case". I unfortunately have to burst that bubble. That's not what I said - what I said was it would be better if everyone were given feedback. I'm sorry - but this is what the Statistic Sheet i...

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

you can't say that a tonal balance of 8 makes the mix better from a technical point of view than a tonal balance of 3, only that the song provider like the tonal balance of the first mix better. I didn't mean that an "8" makes something better, just that that criteria was closer to the id...

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

Regarding this, I've observed in some of the challenges the song providers are very focussed on technical aspects, but in others they are more subjectively centred on how the mixers have understood the material; so the ability to be fluid and unrestricted in providing feedback I think is quite key....

Sorry I stuffed up the quoting in the previous message - my replies are in italics if that helps.

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

I have an idea that I'd like to run past those running the Mix Challenge. At present it seems that only the top 15 mixes get feedback. This is understandable due to time considerations however it means that those not selected (the vast majority) don't get feedback, and yet they're the ones that pro...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC102 February 2025 - Mix Round 2 until 22-MAR-2025 23:59 UTC+1/CET

Hi All, I like to have a listen to the mixes that get selected for round 2 of the mix challenge. For MC102 it seems that the link to Christian M's mix isn't working (it says that the file has been deleted). Any chance it could be uploaded so I could have a listen to it? Also, sorry for posting this ...

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

Mixing and mastering these days are much less distinguishable then back then. And if it sounds good it is good. I really don't care how I get there and I think it does not matter at all. Yes, and I agree completely, but it's just how we reconcile this with the rule book and the "This is a mix ...

Re: Mix Challenge - General Gossip Thread

Hi All, When I don't make the Final 15 I like to go back and listen to the mixes that made the final cut in order to try and figure out what they did in their mixes that I didn't. I also like to have a quick look over the processing used. I was surprised to see that for MC102 one of the mixes that m...
