MIX CHALLENGE - MC095 December 2023 - Winners announced

[Mister Fox]

Just to step in for a minute:
Metric Halo SpecraFoo is a fully standalone measurement software suite. It is not a plugin. It is not part of the offerings for the Mix Challenge by Metric Halo and can therefore not be selected.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Ooops!
Ok, I'll go for the Audified MixChecker then

[Mister Fox]

This I can do. I'll sort out all requests tonight.

That means, @Michael_K selected Audified, @EmClrk selected IK Multimedia. Metric Halo is back in the pool. Next up is @ari5to5.

Hey @ari5to5, love your mix. The reverbs for one sound amazing, could you tell me anything about how you achieved this very airy sound, which plugins, what settings, what EQ etc?
Thanks v much

Hey @scottfitz. Thank you.

The airy sound is a byproduct of the workflow implemented during structuring this specific mix. The use of FX started right from the beginning, as soon as the rough-mix was "happening", by placing each particular element of the mix in a layer. The airy sound was also caused by the use of Valhala shimmer on some elements of the mix (see below).

My most used effects were:

1. Valhala plate on snare and toms with decay 3s - no other treatment
2. Valhala vintage verb on BV (mix 30%, color now, decay 2,37, pre-delay 20ms)
3. Valhala shimmer on Farvox (default settings with mix 50%) and on the 33 Bottle Solo Amped (bus - default settings with mix 100%)
4. Eventide SP2016 on MV (bus - Program: modern plate, pre-delay 4ms, decay 3,1s). Stock Reaper comp (side-chained by the MV).
5. Eventide SP2016 (Program: stereo room, mix 26%, pre-delay 4ms, decay 3,1s) and Soundtoys echoboy (mix 50%, echotime: 1/8 dot ) on the intro gtr parallel and intro space.

I hope you find the above information helpful.

At your disposal should you need any additional information/clarifications.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for the detailed response and well done for your excellent mix
