It is interesting to see the various bit rates people used when they created their MP3 file.

I went for 320kbps using Lame encoder for quality, not thinking about file size.

Cool....happy judging!

It is interesting to see the various bit rates people used when they created their MP3 file.

I guess I did not mean for people to post what they did. I had made my post because I was looking at the detail from all the files I downloaded and I saw the range of rates people used. I know that the rate should not factor in on the final judging, but I wonder the correlation will be.

There you go...

Good luck to everyone!

Now that i can listen to it, VERY nice mix!

Vocals sound a bit stand outy.
Backing vocals Could be mixed in better.

Apart from that sounds good.

I agree they could come down a tad, but I would rather them stand out a little than buried.

Honestly, I would hate to be a judge on this contest. There are MANY GREAT mixes here.

NL5,
Would it be posible for the performing band to judge the entries too?

That would be really cool to see what they think.

What's this band's name?

Well, no. The band is no longer together. In fact, that is the reason they allowed me to use this song. I could ask one of them to judge, but I think they have already done enough by letting this song be used in the mix clinic, so I am just gonna leave it at that.

You could let the band hear the winning few mixes say the top 3 so they at least get to hear what folks on here have done to there mix, thats if they are interested that is!

That's basically why I won't even ask. They don't really care, as they have all moved on. That is the only reason this was available in the first place. It was cool of them to allow me to do this, leave it at that.

I tried to PM the links to you, but HRBBS won't let me.......

That is cool, I understand the politics in music.


...at least I think I do.

 

[NYMorningstar]

Bump it up.

I have PMs turned off here.

I've got all the tracks, I'll be listening this weekend. If you need me to send the score sheet, hit me up at music at naiant dot com. Or if you want to do the same thing as xfinsterx, that will work too.
