Might be interesting to have several folks here participate and compare mixes. Read the rules, it's not a production or mastering contest. Lots of cool gear up for the top 16 winners. Regardless of winning, I think this contest opens an interesting opportunity to see what we all think constitutes a good mix of a soulful rock song.

I think I might give it a shot. Currently downloading the 212 MB of raw tracks. Pretty slow right now.

Don't even know where to start with this but I am sure willing to give it a try. I only have RealBand so we'll see what it can do. I have zero experience at mixing so that will be the real challange.

Cool opportunity to play with some "professionally" recorded tracks..... yeah a few of them are noisy.

Still fun to work with something I didn't record.

As tempting as it may be, if you plan to enter this, do not add tracks from BB/RB.....

Here is my version of the song mix for the contest. There was a lot of bleed over from the individual instruments as the song was recorded in a live setting. The tracks were 2 basses DI and an amp version. 1 Electric Guitar, Kick drum, Snare Drum, Overheads and 1 lead Vox.

Hi

Very challenging mix. I tried to keep the live feeling and not using to much effect. My gear is mainly Cubase 7, Line 6 Amp farm, TC Powercore, Toontrack drums and Waves effects. Audio module is TC Konnekt 24.

I replaced the kick with a kick from Toontracks Avatar drums. Copied the guitar to balance the stereo field and gave one guitar a slight phasing and the other guitar auto-wah. Everything was EQ'ed and I used a good deal of compression.

I would love to have some comments.

Kind regards

I liked how you beefed up the vocal, and added some mod effect to the guitar. I heard things in your mix in the vocal that seemed missing in another mix of the same song - her squeal... an important energy element... nice job. Best of luck.
