Mix Challenge

Hi everyone, Here is the link to my composition: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YAgRA9Vfk4qqxGtB7Fx-_-Y5Y7DbzHeK/view?usp=sharing I started by listening to the New Age references and making a list of elements did and did not want to include in my piece. Something meditative / contemplative seemed ...

Hi all, Here is the link to my mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JNCkhKxxIE8pe5Rd9B2zpPXVlMK_OiGo/view?usp=sharing To enhance the flow of the story and keep the listener engaged I wanted some more contrast between the different parts (verse, pre, chorus). A lot of this is already done in the arr...

Sample time! These samples are unprocessed sounds recorded with a Tascam GT-R1 portable recorder. I wanted to make samples with an interesting sonic character, with a focus on the sound itself instead of a conventional musical instrument. Because I’m a fan of organic sounding productions, I recorded...

Nice to hear you shared a similar experience. Mixing in an acoustic instrument with software instruments is also one of my tricks for a getting a 'real' sound. The fact that you prefer the sounds others got with the NI Session Horns probably has to do with choosing the right velocities and having va...

Hi folks, Nice that we got our pogo on this month! I enjoyed your songs a lot. The MODO Bass would make the most happy, so that will be my choice. I would like to share a few words (and perhaps start a little conversation) regarding what is considered a composition. These thoughts are sparked by thi...

So, I hope you find these comments useful and happy musicing! A Future In Noise – It Stylewise, I’m getting more a c...

Hi Folks, Here’s is the link to my ska Song: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16XW3CEknoPxVJMmww2aG26QLrVxenqXg/view?usp=sharing The writing process started with listening to (primarily two-Tone) ska and getting the desired guitar sound. I recorded some progressions in minor that had a ska vibe. The ...

Hi folks! Link to my mix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MGmZPYeb27E7mLoTiPQgoxHZBjTubYeR/view?usp=sharing The main goal for the mix of this song was to create movement. To make the song not just feel like a ‘track’, but a journey (to put it somewhat pretentious). The song is spacious, lots of spa...

Hi Everyone, Here is the mix I made: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vz7GIX17_QBU9ZoCXHhXrXvyqSCCX7c-/view?usp=sharing To me the key to mixing this song was using automation to enhance and contrast the different segments. I used volume to feature new elements and duck 'old' elements as well as auto...

It was a nice opportunity to have a go with this genre since it has some very different characteristics than music I usually work on / listen to. But I have a feel it will somehow influence my future music. I have to say it felt kinda scary, passing on and receiving judgement via text, but luckily t...
