If you say the original mix is a 9 / 10... how many points would you give my version of it?
Hello again WoodenCube, as said on a previous post, we didn't upload the tracks for contest purposes, so it it really difficult for me to rate your mix. There are many reasons for this:
First of all i mixed the song, but i don't really feel like an accomplished audio engineer to rate other people mixes with a grade! I can say my honest opinion though, based on my current knowledge, and that's what I try to do!
We appreciate your efforts and that's what counts for us the most.
Enough with the philosophical aspect of the thread, some feedback on the mixes:
Dtabs85:
Even better attempt man. I think there is audible clipping during the opening riff and melody. Improved a lot of things, loved the automation in the lead solo and on some vox parts, shows you devoted a lot of time. Cheers!
darkness of erebos:
Good effort dude! I feel there is a lot of sub bass frequencies, as if you have added MaxxBass on the bass and/or the mastering chain. This aspect of the mix does not let the ither instruments cut through I am afraid! Like how you blended the vocals though. Cheers man, keep it up!
SkylarWanke:
There are some issues with the stereo bus and the balance, volume and frequency-wise. Some not proper timing with the leads as well. Like the idea to use bassdrops though. Cheers!
Adegheiz: Thank you man, it is not late, we will let this up until the end of the month (final deadline)
