I don't think there was a date set but from what I've seen in the past it usually takes a couple weeks. There's alot of entries this time and the judges usually have pretty busy schedules.
 
So, tehre's gonna be a winner?

May the winner reveal his secrets! :D
 
Does anyone or anywhere still have the tracks to send me or to download? I just joined the forum and missed this. Sounds like it would be good practice. If anyone still has them, PLZ email to solo2racr at Yahoo dot com

Thanks, Ken
 
Don't worry there will be more, the last PMC was just last september plus there or others on this board that post files to practice with.

Yep.

The judges have the files, so I will post as soon as I get the results.

I think someone is getting ready to post some more files to mix very soon.......
 
But this sounded like a pretty good production. That is why I wanted to give it a crack.

Actually about to render all the tracks and zip them up. In the next hour or so it should be done

Edit:
Make that a couple hours. 40kb/s up doesn't lend well to a 375 MB file.

OK, I am starting judging tonight, and I have to say I am starting to get pissed off! There are too many good mixes! Seriously, usually I can cut about half after a first listen, but tomorrow I think I will need to listen to 2/3s of them again, and probably 1/3 a third time . . . :mad: ;) :)

fala and dcig311, I am scoring yours but I assume for "audit" credit as your entries were late? I will let NL5 decide.

NL5, are you tabulating results, or am I? I don't mind, I used to do Excel for a living . . . anyway, let me know if you want me to email these when I am done.
 
OK, I've finished! This was a tough winner to call, previous contests I always felt that one mix stood out above the rest, and it was just silver and bronze that were tough to call. Of course, in the past, other judges haven't picked the same obvious winner! :o

I don't have too many general comments. There were lots of different decisions made. I didn't like the stick count left in, something like half of them had it. But I didn't downgrade anybody for that. I just assume you were leaving heads and tails for mastering, like the good mixers you all are ;)

One word on the kick EQ, that was probably the most different choice made. A few people had completely overdone that. Click is good when it sticks out here and there as an accent. When it steps on the vocal, the guitar . . . not good.

Another thing I penalized hard was a loud mix that was also bad. If you think you might have EQ or balance problems in a mix, don't limit the poor thing to death, please. It makes it 100% harder to try and fix later. So if you did a loud mix, it better have been good! And there were some of those too.

That said, there was little correlation on my chart between top 10 mixes and volume, as it has been in the past . . .
 
Can´t wait to know who the winner is! :)

Mshilarious, maybe you can give some detailed tips for the best 10 or 5 mixes of the contest, what do you think?

If you judged the late entries, I see no harm in allowing them.

As far as tabulating, go ahead. The other judge is XfinsterX, and I have not heard from him.....
 
Don't bother judging mine, I never got time to do a proper mix and don't want the indignity of coming last :o
 
Im just trying to catch up on all ths stuff on my plate.
I apologise for the lag time.
Ill have the results up asap.
Ty for your patience.
