MIX CHALLENGE - MC103 April 2025 - Mix Round 2 in evaluation

[knob_Houdini]

Had a blast in this contest, even with such a busy month. Hope you all enjoyed mixing too! This time, I only tweaked a few things—well, actually, I redid most of the mix because my headphones weren’t calibrated right. Thanks to SoundRadix, I got them sorted and nailed the mix. Haven’t checked it on other systems yet, but it sounds good here. Hope you dig it!

It's the 13th May 2025, 02:00 (UTC+2) - the 2nd Mix Round has officially ended.


STATISTICS

• Unfortunately, not everyone has sent in an edit (I count 12 out of 15), we therefore have 3 disqualifications (@Eastpark Sound, @Pentatonicdave and @Ronson79 didn't submit anything)
• We have 02 Wild Card uses to advance into the next round (03 were available this month)
• We have 01 participant that decided on not to advance through the use of a Wild Card (03 were available this month)
• We have 0 submissions after the deadline (and 01 bonus entry outside of the competition)
• We have 0 submissions that could not be downloaded by the time of this post and are therefore disqualified (re-checked 13-MAY-2025 2:00 UTC+2/CEST)

I will reach out to @Strange and forward all entries/statistics by sometime tomorrow (Wednesday, 14-MAY-2025). Please have an eye on this thread for more feedback and a possible Mix Round 3, or an announcement of the final results.



I'm now opening up the room (again) for Q&A's and giving each other feedback (which is highly encouraged)

Please check out all other games on the community. Most notably our Songwriting Competition - which is currently still in the submission and "work in progress" feedback period, with 12 days left on the clock.

Please also consider becoming a Song Provider. Our Song Pool is dry! We have no more content after May 2025! No more material means no more Mix(ing) Challenges. The genre is not important -- but it must be a finished production.


See you on the flipside.

Dear sound engineers of the second round,

thank you very much for your work. I have listened to each mix once so far and I can hear a clear “improvement” in all of them. This shows me once again: communication is everything. At first I thought I'd just listen to all the ideas without giving them much direction. However, I quickly realized that I wouldn't find the mix that I completely liked. In the second round, I only listen to mixes that I fundamentally like. Now it's more a question of small differences, small inaccuracies and ultimately my taste. I definitely want to take a close look at each individual work and try to justify my decision.
See you then
Greetings
Peter
