There is a substantial tempo difference between the youtube video and the stems we have. Are we mixing this at the faster tempo? Its about 92 bpm in the youtube and around 110 in the original mix wav (assuming 4/4 even though its probably 2/2). Around 20+ seconds in difference in the length.

Fun song, I really enjoyed mixing it. I tried going for a warm mix on this one and let the acoustic guitar and vocals drive the track. My submission is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrlKdWey1pdloHzYZUgg?e=8SY2u9 Drums: I intentionally left the kick in the background. I would have probably done...

Mix is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrlI1ob4g1nTPEZCZghg?e=oimVgd Drums: basic eq and compression, used the new lil tube to give the drums some bite. The overheads have heavy eq and a delay send to attempt to give them some groove and make them less of a white noise wash. Bass: reamped the DI...

Mix is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrk68v0lr3XnrGps_bjw?e=Ca66Xy Touch mix with lots going on and lots of conflicting frequencies. Drums: mostly eq and some transient shapers. I did automate in some eq that pulls out low end to make the transitions have more impact. Lots of cutting to the lo...

Mix is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrk6NU4IVjuMnjLQFnPA?e=4jpygf Fun little track to mix. Drums: Kicks: all sent to a bus, some distortion added, side chain input on bass bus compressor. Little bit of low mid eq to make more room for the bass. Low end eq cuts, I decided the bass should take ...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC085 April 2022 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

hi to all mixers, As a point of discussion I was wondering how important you all thought it was to consider the mood and lyrics of the music when going to mixing decisions? Until very recently I thought this was vital, but then I've listened to lots of remixes as I'm also a member of the metapop si...

Fun track for sure! My mix is here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrkvtMIB8B9-BBsb3X6w?e=eKAPuM Drums: I have a little bit of distortion on the kick, otherwise its eq and parallel compression on most of the drums. I did add an exciter on the snares to try and brighten them some and bring out the siz...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC084 February 2022 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

In Cubase the control room has all the meters you need to see where you're loudness is at. The control room is also great for setting up the que mixes as alternate mixes/production roughs to compare with quickly instead of headphone mixes. Typically, I put the production rough on 1, a mix reference ...

Here's my mix: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpB-RLndYJrksYLXLEXw7mk7vmklQ?e=y6f9jv Every channel used an API console emulation. Drums: Just eq, pan, levels and compression. Parallel compressed drums except for the kick through dbx160. I did do some time alignment on the kick and acoustic guitars to keep the...
