Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC35 August 2017 - Mix Round 2 in evaluation

- Dave McIsaac The main reason that prevented me from choosing this mix was the voice "reverbiness" throughout the song, in both singers and the voice clips. I really wish you would have mentioned that in the 1st round critiques so I could have addressed the issue :cry: Anyway... CONGRATU...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC35 August 2017 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Dave McIsaac Nice intro fade in, but it goes too loud moments before the band comes in. Rebalance the volume so the actual song punches hard when it starts. Also, clean the guitar part or at least push it back. I have 2 problems with this mix. Other than that, it really caught my attention. 1- The ...

Hey, OctopusOnFire - Great song! There were a lot of challenges, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I hope you are too! :hihi: I used only the unprocessed tracks. For the guitars, I found a setting on Izotope Trash 2 that gave them the crunch I like. I also doubled them to get them a bit thicker...

Hi Gary,

I just got back home, but I know the deadline for submitting Round 2 mixes has come & gone. Maybe next time... Just wanted you to know it was a very fun song to mix and I'm sorry I wasn't able to follow through with your suggestions for Round 2.

Thank you for choosing my mix to go on to Round 2. That was quick judging! Unfortunately for me - too quick. I am out of town on a little trip with my wife and won't be home until Tuesday the 27th past the deadline. I won't be able to compete in Round 2. The final Round 1 judging is not usually so q...

Hi, feel free to change any sounds that you want. The arrangement in terms of verse/chorus etc needs to stay the same otherwise you could replace anything. Look forward to hearing your mix. Good luck, Gary I have to question this after re-reading the Mix Challenge - Rules and Guidelines, which stat...

Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC32 May 2017 - Mix Round 2 until 31-05-2017 11:59pm GMT+1/CEST

I believe I took care of the snare & kick issues - both are much tighter and there is a lot less "thud/bass" on the kick. I dirtied up the organ a bit and brought up the Brass. I also did more automation to build up the ending to a climax. I hope you like it. :grin: https://www.dropbox...
