MiltyG565 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 I haven't had a chance to listen to the vocal tracks yet, but I'm sure they are lovely. I'll maybe have to rethink my mix a bit, because I don't like too much going on in my mix (probably because I can't make them all work well together). This could be interesting! Looking forward to hearing what you have all done and hearing what you think of my mix too! I appreciate the critique very much Quote
ironside1966 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 [size=4]Here is another tip.[/size] If you have grouped or rendered the harmonies to stereo groups be careful of your panning. in Cubase ,panning stereo tracks turns down one side of the stereo mix, use duel panning instead ( a separate panning for each side) Quote
xgsjx Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 What's the deadline? I've got mine sitting waiting to be mastered, but not got time right now. Quote
MiltyG565 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I lost interest I could just enter whatever I have done so far, but it won't include the extra backing vocals. Also - My loosing interest was absolutely nothing to do with the competition or the song, it was just a battle with my demons Quote
51m0n Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 Deadline is Monday 23rd September. Not surprised if anyone has struggled with this, it is a veryu very busy piece of music when you stack up the BVs. Am surprised at how little talk there has been on this thread though..... You dont really need to master it, other than maybe a few 2buss eq tweaks, and the tiniest bit of glue, remember we are after a nice k12 level here, so any limiting is just going to lose you punch and overall level compared to everyone elses (because k14 measures average volume, and a compressor or limiter will effectively raise that, k14 will require you to turn it back down).

Shame but can't be helped. Although I might revisit the stems in future for a remix or something... Nevertheless I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone has gone on with it. Quote
lurksalot Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I am just about done , I have tried to listen to mine on other systems this time but it has been really doing my head in. I don't think I am quite ready for that step yet , as it is only adding a least 2 other levels of confusion , so once I have done a touch more automation for a couple of tracks I will be uploading . I noticed on my September track that soundcloud seemed to compress and smiley EQ my entry , would this happen twice if I loaded it for Si and then when he loaded it again ? This might affect the way I present it in the first instance IYSWIM Quote
xgsjx Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 If I don't get time to sort out a couple of levels then I'll send you what I've done. Really just the electronic vocal thing. I like it, but the 2nd run is a little loud against the acapella. My fave part is setting things across the stereo field. Arranging the vocalists into groups was fun. Quote

51m0n Posted September 18, 2013 Author Posted September 18, 2013 Chaps if there is a real desire we could add another few weeks to this..... I'm not going to say how long I spent on it for real Quote
lurksalot Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I will meet the deadline and will be ready for another soon enough Quote

I'd need something like another month to get this one done properly - and that's obviously not fair on everyone who made the deadline. What time I do have for music at the moment is being spent working on stuff with Mike Flynn (which will be ultimately be coming your way at some point in future ). Although I did manage to throw something together for the composition competition yesterday afternoon - in record time for me! But anyway, I'm rambling. Short story is go ahead with it as planned. I look forward to hearing everyone's entries. Quote
51m0n Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Okeedokee, I've got a few in, not that many this time, was everyone rather daunted by this one do you think? Quote

51m0n Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Voting thread up! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218396-augustseptember-mix-competition-voting-thread/page__fromsearch__1 Quote
Skol303 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Good efforts folks! I've made a shortlist, which I now need to shorten to a favourite. I'll post up some feedback on the mixes once I'm done. Quote
