Curious to hear your mix now @dave.
I am not going to rearrange the kick & bass. I will have to find another way to make my mix stand out from the crowd. :shrug:

Re: MASTERING CHALLENGE - MastC002 February 2018 - in evaluation

how do you measure the LUFS? If I play the song from start to finish it gives me a final value of i.e. -15 but if I reset the meter on the loudest parts it says i.e. -13. Which value/method do have I to take into account? Thanks. They're talking about "integrated" LUFS, which is from star...

When the bass & kick first come in, the 2nd kick hit is on the beat but 1/16 note before the bass note. It does that twice each progression. The bass & kick are playing a bit of a stutter beat against each other. It just threw me off. The bass isn't intended to fall on that kick hit, and wh...

Special Add-On Rules: ...No rearrangement or pitch shifting of the song structure... The kick & bass are not synced through parts of the progression. To me, it throws the groove off and feels like it stumbles. I would really like to get the kick & bass in the same groove to tighten it up. I...

Anybody is going to cut out the first 9-10 seconds of silence ? Or it isn't allowed ? I believe we are supposed to master as if for release on CD & streaming. Cutting dead space is part of the job. I typically leave between 0.3 - 0.5 seconds of silence before the audio starts and about one seco...

First of all, what a beautiful song! I'm honored to be a part of this experience. As with most of the others, the main challenge was to clean up the lead vocal and still keep it as emotional as was intended. Lots & lots of automation! I gated the track with ReaGate (I mix in Reaper) which took o...
