Thanks DM60 Thank you, Keith! Thanks for listening and commenting, Damian Thanks CC - I mainly used a Strat and a Deusenberg Starplayer TV. I did use the Tele to add a few textures, though.

Well...it's taken quite a while, a few false starts, some very convoluted detours and sidetracks, a LOT of patience, but it's finally done!...  My project "FytaKyte"s first full-length album "Meandersaur". Here are a couple of links where it can be streamed (or even purchased if it's your...

Interesting... I took the "one upload" rule to mean one entry, no revisions, and that is exactly what I did. I posted my mix once I was happy with it (about a month before the deadline) and left it there. When I saw others constantly revising and re-uploading, I was a bit puzzled TBH. I...

Well, I had a quick listen, & I very much agree with you, David...I too didn't think I had a snowball's chance in hell of getting near the pointy end of the field - but I'm always hopeful nonetheless... Like you, I'm anything but delighted with the choices, but in all honesty, I can't say I'm...

It seems there is a lot of concern as to whether things are being handled fairly - rather than speculate, here's a direct quote of a reply that Fab posted on Gearslutz regarding similar questions:

Ha, Cool!...There yah go! It seems great minds think alike :D Either that, or you're just as insane as me ;)

Thanks!

The deadline was June 1st.

Top job on this mix, Rajk! Everything is handled very nicely - great balance & control... The only things I'm not keen on simply come down to personal taste & preference, so they are not really worth mentioning. An excellent mix.

Totally agree David - If you're here only for the prizes, you may as well go & buy yourself a lottery ticket. If you're here to listen & learn something, if you participate, you definitely won't go away empty-handed.

Wow! Excellent mix Dave - very classy. Drums are perfect, vocals sound sweet. Lovely soundstage. Bass is very full-sounding & sits beautifully. The guitar is very, very smooth sounding - nice, very nice. About the only thing I'd personally like to hear is a little more aggression from the...

I like the low end in your mix - it's nice & full. Balance-wise, the vocals are nice & upfront & airy. However, I'm finding the balance between the drums & guitar a little skewed. The drums are very "large", but the guitar suffers in relative "size" by comparison - it sounds quite "small"...

Sweet sounding mix Mark! I like the balances you got, & it sounds dynamically really well controlled - drums are punchy & vocals are upfront & clear. The cymbals get a tad loud in the choruses, but certainly not painfully so. The guitar tone is likewise, very solid - not too strident, just...

Mission accomplished - sweet mix! Very tastefully done!

Amen to that SS! Good point about the availability of educational mixing material online - It's been a huge help to me personally.

Nice mix, Eduardo! I like your punchy kick & snare drum & the low end in general on the mix is nice. Full-sounding bass guitar -lovely. The guitar sounds ever-so-slightly "out front of" the vocal. That is probably to do with the use of reverb on each respective element. I find, if I'm using...

Well from a fellow Aussie, it's really geat to hear your perspective, Dave! Your experience in Audio engineering is really evident in the high quality of your mix. I guess it's no news to you, but for the uninitiated, Aussie Pub Rock was notoriously, blisteringly LOUD during the '70's and...

Yeah, well I guess people can interpret it any way they like. There's no denying, it's great to get positive feedback, & there's nothing wrong with that. Let's face it, if we're not mixing for the approval of others, what are we mixing for? If you make a mix, of what use is it unless other...

Well, this is what it's all about, really, isn't it? Sure, you can sit around waiting to win & hope that people post "teenage girl" comments on you mix ("I love your hair" "No, but I love your hair") but if you really want to actually improve, you've gotta spend time listening critically &...

Oh man! Dave, this is the STUFF! LOVE it! Not only ultra-creative, but it sounds great too. The way you created excitement & contrast was what really got me. I really dig the idea of using delays, sidechaining & other effect related stuff to create movement & interest within a mix...
