Even though the contest is over, I still would like to give the tracks my own flavor, if its cool, just to see the difference.
 
Hey I'd like to be a co-Judge. :)

Lets do this American idol style. LOL

A couple of people of asking about the "Imaging/Soundstage" section.... most people did fairly poorly in this area.

This category rated how the mix was presented in the soundstage between the 2 speakers. Does the soundfield make sense? Are the individual tracks clearly defined in a point of space between the speakers?? Is the mix well-balanced between left/right???

These were all points that were analyzed for this category. I found many people's mixes leaned very unevenly to one side or another and many failed to focus the different tracks to a point in space. I was actually surprised at how few paid people attention to these critical elements.

Failing to hear these sometimes subtle details can be a sign that your monitors, or the space they're in, are masking critical information. Or - it could even be as simple as irregular monitor placement.

Cool! I'll play the role of Simon, so I guess that'll make you Randy... now we need a Paula! ;)
 
I'd be Paula any day =O

I think I compressed the kick... actually I flat out replaced the kick.... not the best sample in the world, and not the best triggering.... free trigger and free sample.... In fact, I dont even like it too much, but I was running out of time, and just wanted to do something that hopefully would be a little bit different than most people.

I dont remember on the snare, may have used some compression, but not much.

I mixed some compression into the guitars, which I kind of think I shouldn't have, and probably wouldn't have if I'd spent more time on it.

One thing I think I did wrong was that I used much too little of the drum overheads, which are one of the tracks in such a mix that have the most depth and dimension to them, so that would have helped the space a lot if I had better utilized that sonic information.

As I said, I can't wait till next time, this was a lot of fun. Being exposed to something I didn't track was nice, as it enabled me to focus more on my mixing faults, and not tracking faults/limitations.
 
Randy Huh. More Ethnic Jokes. ROFL.

So who will be our Paula???
 
This contest was really fun and I'm impressed by how Giles managed it, but I'm not very impressed with the results...

We may have our "Paula" to assist in the judging... details pending...
