PS: might be an idea to list all the SoundCloud links separately beneath the poll (like Charic does with the monthly composition challanges), just so they're convenient to click on.

lowdown Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 No real point in anyone winning this month then.... Only kidding - off to have a listen. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 How many tracks do you have to choose from butlerk02?? If you have more than one, then maybe the winner this month could have the choice of which of yours to have a go at? That way there is some continuity? Just a thought....

butlerk02 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'd be happy with that. We have an album coming out in the next few weeks and I'd happily donate a copy to the winner. They can then choose from one of the 10 tracks to mix for the comp? Cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charic Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ok just starting the listening throughs, I'll post up what I think as I listen to each (I probably post mostly what I find negative in each, mainly because I'm just jotting down what I think as I listen) : Comments added in the "spoiler" to avoid affecting other peoples listening experience [spoiler] Redstriper : The stereo spread on the keyboards is annoying the hell out of me. Sorry, but it is . The mix seems to be lacking a little in the top end in general. Otherwise a nice mix. ButlerK02 : Liking the effect added to the guitar in the background toward the beginning. Nice use of delay. Finding it a little odd the hi-hat being in the middle, infact is the whole drum kit panned central? Bit more of a driving feel to this one, maybe a touch "dry" in places maybe a touch of reverb would help. Removing the noise at the beginning and end might have been nice another good mix 5im0n : First thing I notice is the snare. It seems a little bit odd in the beginning but fits much nicer once the rest of the track kicks in also I would personally have it a bit lower in the mix. Liking the delay added to the vocals. Have you added some kind of "effect" to the bass? It sounds somehow different. Loving the effect at the end of the mix OldG : Is that a stereo spread added to the guitars? Seems a little odd in headphones. Infact, a lot seems to be moving around quite a bit. It's almost unsettling, some of the levels seem to change quite radically in places. Some interesting stuff going on with the drums in this one. RockfordStone : Another case of the hi-hat in the middle of the mix, still seems a little odd to me. Maybe that's just me though. Liking the rest of the panning and the levels are very well done for a slightly less "cluttered" feel in this one. Skol303 : There seems to be a lot of noise on this particular track? Oooh, lots of weird and wonderful effects going on Singers got a lot of presence in this particular one, maybe a touch to much treble though? The delay is maybe a touch too prominent although I like the idea. A very different take on the same idea lurksalot : This is a very different mix, although very bass heavy mix. Almost an underwater type feel to it? I quite like where you have put the keys in the mix. You've brought through a lot of the ring from the snare (which really was a git to work with wasn't it?!). A very hard job picking between them but the one that stuck out for me was butlerk02's for the extra "driving" feel he added to the song. Well done vote added [/spoiler] Good work everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldG Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 @ charic, I was experimenting on this with transient driven panners to add a[b]' bit'[/b] of movement - seems like they didn't save my settings and reverted to full width pan before rendering. Yet another reminder to check things before calling finished! Nevermind though, I have really enjoyed playing around with this and hearing others takes on it.

Skol303 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ooh, a spoiler button! Now that is neat. I'm going to resist clicking it until I've re-listened to them all voted myself. But buttons are very tempting, especially one marked 'spoiler'. Must. Resist. Pressing. Button... Ok I'm outta here before my willpower fails Nice idea though, Charic. I'll jot down some notes myself and post them once I'm done. PS: when does the voting end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I've voted , I have to say this is as much a competition to the ear as it is to mixing , even learning to listen to the mixes knowing what was on offer is a total education .
