51m0n Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Right this is the 'official' topic of the March mix competition. We are tasked with producing the best mix we can of Creepjoint's (Cheddatom's band - a big thank you to them all) track Sapere Aude off their second album. Download the stems here:- [url="http://creepjoint.co.uk/sapereaudestems.zip"]http://creepjoint.co...reaudestems.zip[/url] [color=#ff0000][size=5][b]We are going to attempt a blind vote this time chaps so [u]the entrants must not post a link to their final mix in the topic[/u]![/b][/size][/color] [b]Instead upload your final mix wav somewhere (soundcloud, box.net, dropbox.com, wherever) with it set to private and downloadable, [u]then PM me the link[/u].[/b] I will gather all the mixes, rename them to something arbitrary (there may well be an A.wav, B.wav and a C.wav if I'm feeling very very inventive) upload them to a freshly prepared soundcloud account and then open up the poll pointing it to said account. For the sake of fairness I wont vote, but I will put in an entry. Once the poll closes I will disclose which mix was whose. [i]NOTE if you do put a link to your mix in the topic you are inadvertantly disqualifying yourself since you will lose anonymity.[/i] Enjoy, and best of luck to you all! [size=5][b]The mixes are in![/b] [b]Your efforts can all be found here:- [size=6][url="https://soundcloud.com/bc-mix-competitions/sets/bc-march-mix-competition"]https://soundcloud.c...mix-competition[/url][/size][/b][/size] NOTE this is still a MIX competition, some of these mixes would appear to have run into some heavy-ish limiting for level, feel free to turn your headphones/amp/laptop up and down and keep the levels equivalent to appreciate the mixes equally. Good luck one and all! [b]The results stand as follows:-[/b][list=1] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix A (1 votes [7.14%])[/b] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix B (5 votes [35.71%])[/b] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix C (0 votes [0.00%])[/b] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix D (3 votes [21.43%])[/b] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix E (4 votes [28.57%])[/b] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix F (0 votes [0.00%])[/b] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix G (0 votes [0.00%])[/b] [*][b]Sapere Aude - mix H (1 votes [7.14%])[/b] [/list] Ok so I can reveal now that the mixes were:- Mix A was skol303 [b]Mix B was moonbass[/b] (well done, top mix good win) Mix C was lurksalot Mix D was me (as promised I havent voted, and I dont know that I would have voted for mine this time, thats for sure!)

[/quote] Mine was that sort of size , so just peel the spuds , do the veg, roast a joint ( a cut of meat of your choice ) serve with gravy , consume , and your upload should be done , or just sit and watch the rugby in slow motion , either is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldG Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I really am trying to stay away from that 'just tweak a little more' thing I do... mostly due to being enlightened by[url="http://forum.cockos.com/showpost.php?p=260487&postcount=19"] this post[/url] by yep on the Reaper forum.

Skol303 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Mine's going to have to be a rush job again this month... but I'll certainly be submitting [i]something[/i], most likely by the end of this week. So far I have the stems mostly prepped: drums gated and EQ'd, buses set up, etc. I just have to actually mix the bloody thing now!! PS: I'm really digging this track.
