Mix Challenge

this was really well recorded, i'd like to know what was used to record vocals. thanks, I do think it could've been recorded much better, but maybe giving the circumstances (me recording myself in my apartment) it's ok-ish... I cannot speak for Susan, but my vocals (which I still hate the sound of....

I wanted to have the limitations of an 8-track, as many did "back in the day," so I did the following (everything ITB on LPX/ no additional sounds or samples): I had a 4-track portastudio back in the nineties when I made my first tentative steps into recording. I was really shit back then...

I've used all of the records which were mentioned in OP as reference for my mix, and additionally this one: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds/Kylie Minogue - Where The Wild Roses Grow Damn, it's been years that I've listened to this one... what an insanely well written song that is! Good catch there as...

I come to the following topic in this very interesting competition with a title that has, among other quality sounds very clean: outside the staggering number plug-in are used (is it really necessary and if so, why ? ), and if you really want to understand and / or learn, I would like the candidate...

Hi fese & Mister Fox, I was totally unaware that soundcloud required a login. It does seem to be the case that to download it is a requirement. I thought I was doing the right thing, as 'in the old days' (MC4-11) many did use sc and I just picked up where I left off. It would have been easier f...

Two other things I'd like to address, because it happened here and there. 1. Please provide a download link to the files where I don't have to login to d/l (in this case soundcloud, where out of sheer laziness I didn't delete my account yet, but that might change ) 2. There is a naming convention fo...

My main challenge was to get a good room to put it all in. I wanted to get a feeling of a little space, and also didnt want long audible "lexicon" reverbs.

Yeah, that's what I was (and still am) struggling with my own mix, too. Space, but not audible reverb.

Just a heads up: as some of the files so far where 48khz: I will load all of them in one project for comparison. Any 48Khz file i will send ruthlessly through Cubase's SR converter. I doubt that that will noticeably degrade the audio quality (even more that I'd be able to hear it), even though Cubas...

Acoustic Guitars: I want to give extra credit to whoever tracked the acoustic guitar - It's a very nice sounding instrument without having to do much to it. It's difficult to track acoustic well, so you have my admiration. A touch of eq and comp with an SSL comp on the bus for glue. :hug: thanks, t...
