So, I spent some more hours listening to your mixes. I must admit that almost everybody tried to improve by listening to my feedback.
And I have to APOLOGIZE because of the bad idea I had to add a reference track, it maybe had a bad influence on some mixes. Sorry
for that, but I am there to learn too. It would have been better to provide the reference at the beginning.
The winners are
1 - Henrik Hjortnaes 2 - Isaac Yom 3 - Nige
Just some words about your work below, it was a really good experience. Henrik your idea to put a kind of tremolo on the guitars was the hook ! Other than that really cool and nicely done mix. Isaac Yom : your mix sounds even a bit better for me than the winning mix but I was amazed by the awesome work/creativity of the first. Nige : unique, the mix you did is perfectly reflecting your special personnality, with no compromise. I'd be happy to give to each contestant a hug for the awesome work you did !
The last 8 mixes were really fine !!!!!

Octopussy :
The mix is so different now, I have sent a private message to you asking if there was a bounce mistake or so. I have to say that the first mix is far better for me. WTF ? If it is you vision of the mix, I am ok BTW.
Kevin Gobin :
Balance : Nice improvement !
Tone : Nice improvement, more clarity this time (a bit too much), I just need a bit more power in the lo mid /mid range.
Stereo :
Many masking issues solved !
Dynamics : Ok
Space/reverb : More control now
General : Kevin, you did a good revision. Just a bit surprised by the lack of lo mid. Thanx !
Mork :
Balance : Really nice now
Tone : Less dark mix ! The bass is ok at 100 now. Your mix overall shines more now, just a bit too much now.
Stereo : Good, really good
Space/reverb : the snare room is good.
Dynamics/distortion : My vocals need more control and gain gain staging before the compression. Other than that, ok !
General : Good mix, more polished this time. You just lost a bit that smooth/dark character that I loved so much. You low range is under control now BTW.
