Public Mix Contest #7

[Tonio]

No kiding. non existant and sounds like cardboard boxes. If you can even discern it over the bleed. couldn't get gates to work, theres nothing to look at.

 

[ocnor]

After several hours of fighting with the drum tracks I've come up with a rough mix. If you guys have any helpful hints I would be glad to hear them.

My thoughts for what they are worth... (since you came in 4th in #6 and I was 7th)
muddy
but creative use of fx

sounds pretty cool, guitars are a bit thin. The heavy sections really work

 

[Doug H]

just got it sounding like a song, sort of. so what the hell...still got some fighting to do with the bass.

Doug, can you do somthing about the buzz in the bass. I had headphones on when it started playing....ouch.

 

[Doug H]

Well... if we are going to go forward with ths song... here is my 1st pass... any critique is welcome.

This sounds solid, very controlled. do me a favour and send me the printed bass track lol, just kidding.

It's almost too sorted out to my ears, you'd get a solid 10 in the "bleed" category, or lack there of, if there was one.

good mix

 

[Markaholic]

Took from a project my band did a little over a year ago for a demo when we just got into the "recording our own material" stage.

I never said it was gonna be a easy mix!

Ya, I noticed that, I don't think it's anything I'm doing. I have no idea how to fix it tho, some kind of low pass?

I'm going to set up an upload folder and post the ftp info tonite or tommorow. Otherwise, you can email it to me, and I will upload it, and post a link as soon as possible.

Judge

I would like to try to judge if I'm qualified.

I noticed it when I used some compression on the bass and brought the levels up. I used a De-Esser to tame it some. It's almost like a gate was used because I only hear it when a string is plucked.

It grows on ya. I like the vocalist; is it you?

 

[Steal Sessions]

It grows for sure.. I cannot get that song out of my head.. 'approaching the surface... ' day and night.. Funny, I do not really like the song overall too much, but it seems to be willing to stick somehow.. Nice.

nah....im the crappy guitarist

and thank you NL5 for stepping up with the hosting...we appreciate it

 

[NL5]

OK -

Hopefully this will work without too much trouble. I hope to have a web interface built for hosting mp3's soon, but for now, here goes -

FTP info:
address - nlrstudio.com
login - mp3@nlrstudio.com
password - upload
port - 21

If you don't have an ftp client, I recommend www.smartftp.com

After upload, the link to the songs will be

PLEASE only use this for uploading contest entries (rough mixes are ok). If it gets abused, I will take it down.

Thanks, and let me know if there are any problems

.

 

[NL5]

Also, for those that can't get the ftp to work, you can email the mp3's to me and I will post them as soon as possible -

spam@nlrstudio.com


Thanks again

[jjmanton2]

heres my first stab at one of these contest things -

Im 16 and everything was done with free plugins and sonar 2. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for the hosting, I really appreciate it.
Note to the actual band, I love your guitarist and the vocals are starting to grow on me.
