Mix Challenge

The first sighting is so short, with so many submissions? Whether this was done with the necessary care?

That's the rules. Listen online is not a requirement. You will have to do the work offline.

It seems there are are very different ideas, what are over processed drums, on the side of the competitors and the song provider.

First time I heard the song, instantly I knew how I want to mix the song. I heard 3 tiers, the long track of marching soldiers, represented in the drums. The dreamy vibe harmony Instruments and the laconic vocals. So, i did a lot of work on the drums, especial on the snare, to get the snare bottom n...

First of all I like to say I don't think this music should have ambience of an jazz club. The plot of the video takes place in the pub, but there is no Band playing in the background. So I think the music is at first and the video is to illustrate the music. Would it be a movie and you could see pla...

Hi, I want to thank everybody for the response to my post. You are are right with the point of view that a bad mix is a challenge and one can improve skills. In general, this my position too. But, I have spent some years on musician collaboration platforms like kompoz. There i had to deal with such ...

Hello, first of all I want to say that this is a great platform, with great stuff, usually. But this month challenge I will not participate. Why? I have now listened to the song and the single tracks a few times over some days now and came to this conclusion. I dont waste my time in fixing third cla...

A lot of vox dynamics were to tame. There I used VCA and tube compression in combination. On master trac...

This month there were 71 entries of mixes. IMHO too much for a decision maker. Too many mixes and too much time. Nobody can remember at the end, what mixes were at the beginning. You have to keep in mind, that the mixes are the same song. So difference are quite minimal most of the time. Sure, there...

Hi, I love that song, one of best here in the challenge. There were no special activities necessary. For Drums i used some 160 Compressor for kick and snare. I dropped out the room track and added some room reverb. All the drum tracks were gated cause of the noise of other parts of the drumset. For ...

Hi, nice to have a rock song, that is not in englisch but French language. Drums: Drums sounded ok so far. Just did a bit of equing and some compression, nothing special. A small room reverb for snare, toms and OH. Guitars: I used all tracks amped and DI. I doubled the amped tracks for a bit of chor...
