Still think it sucks, but I think I'm done on this one. The mp3 encoder was showing some scary eq ranges.

I ain't winning lol, but I managed to cover a lot of ground, even if the final mix doesn't show it. What I wouldn't give for a $10,000 32 band outbaord equalizer to master the final mix.

Man, Nowhere radio sucks. Can't listen to it. Anybody else been having Nowhere not work half the time?

Sounds pretty good to me. A bit of boom on the bass and toms.

 

[Doug H]

NL5, clean mix. Nice job on the bottom end, but I think the kick is too loud.
I know I'm one of the guys that probably mixed the guitars way too loud, but I'd like to hear more power in this mix. Maybe dropping the kick back somewhat would do that.

 

[Doug H]

Eh? I'm just curious.

Lot's a bite . Lot's of space, cool vocal effects. Man, this is a nice mix. I like the vocal treatment, I had no clue what to do with them.

Bass is a bit out of control, maybe just my cheap speakers, they suck on the bottom end.

 

[Doug H]

OK -

I give up!!!!!

Here is my FINAL attempt. Giles, will you put it up on your server.

Any comments (as always) are appreciated.

Thanks,

NL5

Thanks. :-D

I'm listening to your mix now. It seems a bit middy. More than a bit.. it's really middy. The high is either drown out alot from all the mids, or it's just not there. The low end isn't too strong either.

Even with all that said.. I actually like how it sounds. It's different. If the vocals were a bit louder.. I'd give it a thumbs up.

It's not incredible.. just kinda cool sounding.

Ok geet, your mix is just freaking SICK! Very clear and articulate, both in the guitars and vocals, and the kick has a nice sound to it. I love your work on the vocals, especially the attention paid to the stereo placement. Also, letting the reverb on the snare resound at 2:43 was a nice touch.

Deadline reminders.

Hey folks, the files are now off of the server.

Also, Just a reminder...

The Entries deadline is 11:59 p.m. this Thursday the 30th.

I hope you guys have had fun doing something a little different this time around in terms of the music you mixed.

The next contest (P.M.C.#4) will be a little more up the general public's alley, so that should be fun.

Ill release P.M.C.#4 on the 6th of October.

C'ya.
