Hi! Here is my entry: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SRiZhchOYFteLJQuhrxy6ajLnyjMbyQ6 Really good and diverse song, but at the same time I had a bit hard time getting the balance good because of the great variety of dynamics. But nothing a bit of clip gain, volume automation and compression won't ...

Hi! Tried to maintain the organic feeling of the acoustic instruments with some separation while maintaining a sense that everyone plays in the same room. So I tried to avoid overprocessing things and not sound plastic. The song was mixed mainly with Cubase stock plugins. BX_townhouse bus compressio...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC070 October 2020 - Submissions until 21-10-2020 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

Hi! Here is my take on this fine song. The song is mixed ITB with Reaper. I started with gain staging (clip gain) to get every channel peaking at about -12db. Then I went through the drum mics and corrected the phase issues. After that I tried to get a nice balanced rough mix with the faders to hear...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC067 July 2020 - Submissions until 21-07-2020 23:59 UTC+2/CEST

Then I went through all the multi-miked tracks (drums mainly) and phase aligned them with InPhase by Waves. Then I added the Master chain that in this case was NLS Bus, SSL...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC063 March 2020 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Yep! I know I am late, but just want to share my take on this fine song :) Please listen and give me feedback on the mix! Used a lot of Slate plugins on this song including their new Infinity EQ which is my new goto EQ now. Great song! It was fun to mix it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LlR2VAtv...
