STATISTICS

• Sadly, not everyone has sent in an edit (@Christoph_K had to withdraw due to time constraints)
• We have no wild card uses to advance into the next round (@Shubhashish decided not to use a "Wild Card", neither was my response PM read)
• We have 1 submission after the deadline (@satchboogie, arrived on 03-SEP-2021 at 6:16 CEST -- thank you for submitting regardless)

Please check your upload links again (I could download all files), and have an eye on this thread for more feedback and a possible Mix Round 3, or announcing 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.


See you on the flipside.

Hi @DIVESPANNER ,

Thought I'd try to give some feedback to your mix. Hope this helps.

I thought your mix was interesting, but the effects were distracting for the song. Sounds such as the water droplets and guitar tuning.
Since this is a romantic song and there's a story behind the lyrics (in a period before whatsapp was available), I would pull back on the processing - keep it more acoustic, highlight the guitars and also the vocals.

With the demo tracks, I find these (and reference tracks) are usually a good indication of what the artist's vision is. We should always be aiming to exceed it and make it better. Wouldn't necessarily always follow the sound as they may not realise what they are looking for, but the balance can be a good reference to decide where to place certain elements in the mix.

Hi @dnlptn ,

Thanks for taking the time to firstly listen to and giving me some feedback it is much appreciated.
I completely agree with your comments think I got a bit carried away and didn't really listen to the demos provided, will learn my lesson on the next one have listened to all suggestions on the demos just can't work out how to get that sound yet but all part of the learning experience.
Many thanks again for some excellent and constructive feedback and good luck in the next one.

Hi friends.

I'm sorry for the delay but here, where I live, it has been holidays which for me implies a lot of work.

I have finally been able to dive into round 2 mixes and I must say that you have made it really difficult for me.

Custom feedbacks could be common for the 7 participating mixes.

All of you have perfectly fulfilled the requests to achieve a mixture with the characteristics that I requested. Thanks for that. All the mixes are great. They are compensated and they sound pretty.

Unfortunately I can only choose one as the winner so after many laps I decided that the final ranking is as follows.

First place: Kirurg
Second place: dnlptn
Third Place: Gloo

Again, let me point out that all the mixes in R "are very good so thank you so much for the effort and work that I know I knew about this.

Special thanks Mr. Fox for being so outstanding behind the scenes.

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) @kirurg
2) @dnlptn
3) @Gloo


We perform with the usual - please select one license out of the pool (in order of the winners podium) 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 @javiramallo for the positive words.



See you on the flipside.
