PureMix / Sonnox Mixing Contest!

No you're not stupid. This is a god whistle. This is very high pitched.
So if you are listening to it on a lap top or ear buds that can't reproduce that frequency, you probably won't hear it.
 
Absolutely not! No one is stupid. Maybe it´s me who have understand it the wrong way. But the sound I have on the dogfx channel is a real high freq, maybee above 20khz. So when people listen to this song maybe the dogs really start howling then? :-)
 
Sorry guys if it sounded that I petronice you, It wasn´t my attention, just tought it was a funny FX when you realized what it was :-) Hope you didn´t take me in any other way.

I'm listening with Event Opals... But ok, even with this good speakers, I can't hear the sound, 20KHz is too much for my ears (i'm 31 years old). So I will mix this sound with a meter, not with my ears. But now I understand the "joke" :)

Thanks Puremix and Gozmozis.
 
Are there any Producer notes for the different tracks..??
I've done a few of them in the past and I know having some specific directions on tracks, especially the vocals, are a big help..
I have learned that guessing what the Producer wants is not necessarily what I am thinking and hearing..!!
It's that whole assuming thing..!! ;)

My experience tell me that the notes should have been in the zip-file then. So I guess we have free hands on this one. Don´t know for sure tough.
 
Strange.I also tapped it out and I'm pretty positive the tempo is 132. Everything lines up right on the grid at this BPM. We are talking about "Howlin" correct? lol!
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I tried 121 and that was not lining up for me…Call me crazy but, did i do something wrong or isn't 132 the correct BPM's for this track?
Anybody know for sure?

Hey everyone,
This was a fun mix. Great production and recordings.
I mixed this in Logic X using Sonnox, UAD and Waves plugins. I tried my best to match the vision of the producer and the reference mix of the original song, while trying to push it even further.

Thank you for the opportunity and good luck everyone!
 
Hi guys. I cannot get these stems to download. The empty zip files go into my download folder but never load.
Are they on a cloud somewhere? Can they be drop boxed? I've tried to do this 3 times already over the last fews days.
Same result. Can someone shine some light for me.

Thanks.
 
OK, This track has MULTIPLE tempos, a "tempo map" if you will… I am referencing the original track that I purchased and loaded into ProTools(9). I noticed this in "Grid mode". I could see that the transients started to come off of the grid after i set the tempo at 132 BPM's so, I took the time and mapped out the tempo changes according to the grid and the track lining up properly. I always start my sessions from bar 2(don't ask me why, i don't really know other than to allow a little room for a fade). Here's the tempo map with the track starting on bar (2)-131.75BPM, (23)-131.25BPM, (26)-131.5BPM, (28)-132.75BPM, (30)-130.75BPM, (31)-131.5BPM, (34)-132.25BPM, (36)-131BPM, (39)-133BPM, (41)-130.5BPM, (42)-131.75BPM, (54)-131.75BPM, (59)-130.5BPM, (60)-131.75BPM, (67)-131.5BPM, (68)-132BPM, (70)-131.75BPM, (72)-131.5BPM, (75)-132BPM, (77)-131.75BPM, (85)-131.25BPM, (88)-132.5BPM, (91)-130BPM, (92)-131.5BPM, (93)-133BPM, (94)-131.25BPM, (96)-132BPM, (97)-132.5BPM, (98)-134BPM, (99)-128BPM, (100)-131.75BPM, (120)-131BPM, (122)-131.75BPM, (123)-132BPM,
I thought this was rather odd though I have seen producers do this before to add some life to a track. I could be completely wrong though but, I doubt it. I spent hours figuring this out for anybody and everybody who cares about their delays and other sync related effects to sound right or line up. Happy mixing!:listeningmusic:

Pretttttttttty sure this is incorrect
 
Probably so. Like I said, I loaded the track and then tapped out the tempo at 132 after trying multiple tempos. 132 was the closest on the grid but the track got off the grid at the chorus and then it was random as far as lining up. I checked against the stems and the actual track and the click kept going off the grid…I don't know but, that was a lot of work lol! So, since you are "pretty sure" that it's incorrect, whats's the correct BPM'S and how come the stems do NOT lock to the grid on ANY set tempo that i checked all the way from 103 to 138?

I don't have the session in front of me right now but its ~121

Tapped it out and it fluctuated between 121-122 so I used Pro Tools' time-compression expansion AudioSuite thing to figure it out down to the 3rd or 4th decimal point.

The tracks definitely lock to the grid.
 
I have a problem with the download .... says it will take 3 days to download only the information drums contest ..... I came today, help!

Yeah, I listened and tapped it out against the track outside of ProTools and you are correct, 121 it is.
I have no idea what the heck my system did or what I did wrong importing the tracks but , in my session it is as I described it before.
I'm going to start a new session.
