Toying with the idea of having members submit songs for me to mix and allow me to interpret the production/mix elements.
How i think it will work...
First, submit an mp3 mix of a song ( thats yours )
Ill choose one that takes my fancy , then ask you to supply me a link for track downloads 44.1/24 bit lossless wav.
No more than 20 stems please ... or if i really like the song we can bend that rule a tad...
Please export mono source instruments as mono files without eq/comps or fx.
Ill mix it and submit the mix here for discussion.
For Mac users please ensure that there are no " J Son " files in your submission.
And lastly , dont be shy :0) we are all here to learn as im know ill be learning just as much from you !
Discussion will include How To's , What did you do to get that ? etc. , and anything else you care to ask. Ill be frank and detailed about it.
Goal : for me atm im refurbishing my studio and thats gonna take a few months to get done , in the mean time i have a temporary set up in another room that i want to use to further my mixing abilities, use of new and old outboard ( analog ) equipment, make friends and enter discussion that helps beginners to intermediate grasp mixing /mastering /production/comps, eq, balance, panning, fx and anything else thats worth discussing.
Some house keeping : Please be polite/kind about peoples songs.
You may critique /question my work as harshly as possible , i love criticism .. so long as its done in a respectful way and is not venting and so long as its leading to a place where other members can benefit.
NOTE : Your song may turn out sounding wildly different to how it was submitted. If we like the result you grant me permission to put it up on my soundcloud. If you like the result ( of your song ) ill send you an mp3 to do with what you please.
Gear ill be using :
Cubase
Midas M32
Waves Platinum
Yamaha HS7's
Jamo 626's
Various Izotope and Kush plugs
Analog Gear : Modified Aphex Studio Dominator 700 ( modded by dave peach )
SPL Vitalizer MkII Tube
Orban 418a Stereo Comp
UBK Treaker
DOD 908 r
Drawmer Dl441 quad comp
Look forward to hearing your submissions :0)
