24bit, 48kHz, -18.3LUFS, -3.5dB TP
Added more automations and improved overall clarity of the mix.
Altered overall balance a bit, made drums punchier, adjusted some delay and panning fx, different sub mix chain.
It was a pleasure coming back after a break of evaluation and hearing mix with fresh ears. Enjoyed listening to other mixes a lot. :clap:

Hi people,

I was planning on delivering the results this week but I got a bit sick on my left ear and it's a bit hard for me to listen to anything objectively (high frequencies are annoying), so I have to postpone it for a few more days until I'm feeling better, hopefully next week I can resume working on this.

My apologies,
Jorge

Hey,

First, I'm sorry it took this long to get the results. Got the ear thing and I didn't want to evaluate stuff under that condition :exhausted:

Second, here are the results! The scores and notes are in this PDF: Scores and notes PDF

The podium is:

1. tomearwaker
2. Vanilla_puff
3. MellowBrowne

Congratulations to all participants, it was really interesting to listen to all your submissions. And to the podium, those were some great mixes :clap: it was hard to set the points and decide, I'm not gonna lie.

Thanks again for participating and see you around! If you have any question please let me know here or via PM :hug: .

Cheers,
Jorge

First and foremost, congratulations to the winners!
We are ending the game here and do not go into Mix Round 3.


The Winners Podium is
1) @tomearwaker
2) @Vanilla Puff
3) @Mellow Browne


We perform with the usual - in order of the winners podium, please select one license out of the pool and mention it in this thread, then (important) get in touch with me via PM with your full name, email address and your plugin selection. If one company has been selected, it's not available for the rest of the podium anymore.

I'll update the "winners podium" thread shortly.


Thanks again for your participation. You can leave the thread alive if you want to exchange tips/tricks, edits, etc.
And thank you @Jorgeelalto for the final words of feedback and encouragement.

Also thank you to everyone for the positive words, especially on the Mix(ing) Challenge. Please keep in mind, we ran out of new multi-tracks to mix - no more material means no more games. I try to acquire new content, but we (currently) have open spots for December 2022, And I am also sourcing for 2023 already. Please reach out.


See you on the flipside.

Hey,

Chuffed to be on the podium! Really enjoyed the other mixes, was so interesting to hear what everyone did differently and must have been hard to decide on the three. Thanks for the detailed feedback too, very useful to get those kind of comments as it gives me things to think about and hopefully improve in future.

I'd like the Acon Restoration suite license if that's still an option.

Tom
