51m0n Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Right chaps a massive thank you to Nigel for thinking of asking, and Kit for her generosity, this month we (well, you, I've done this one!) get to mix her song You Look So Good Tonight from the Submission Chords E.P The stems are going to go up in two lots, the main stems are here:- [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i3lfo7fba2oneg6/87m9E6fooW"]https://www.dropbox....neg6/87m9E6fooW[/url] The backing vocals are here:- [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y7rlfncmc2lw0ip/F-WJ8a5Kkw"]https://www.dropbox....w0ip/F-WJ8a5Kkw[/url] All the file sare uploaded and waiting for you! Rules are as follows:- Submit a wav to me (PM a link) - do [b]NOT[/b] put a link in the thread, as your anonymity will be blown, and this is another anonymous vote. If you do you will be disqualified. I will upload the wavs to a soundcloud account from where people can listen to them and vote Your mix should not go over 0 on a K-meter set to [b]K12[/b] AT ANY POINT IN THE TRACK (K14 worries people because its so quiet, so we can try to get them a little louder). If it does, and I have no time to fix it, I may well not upload it - you have been warned. Voting will start at the end of September - you will need to spend some time on this one chaps, to get the most out of it.... This is a mix competition, [b][i]not[/i][/b] a composition competition, this song has all the tracks it needs (and then some) and although there are some areas that will need really careful work to get the most of I dont think you even need to replace any drums IIRC, I certainly didn't. There are no marks for re-arrangement, none for redoing the strings, mix what you have, and make the best job of it you can! Good luck! P.S If you want a reference mix, then the link in my signature will take you straight to what the artist wanted her work to sound like, that's mixed and mastered and has liberal fairy dust sprinkled on it too.....

[b]YOU LOOK SO GOOD TONIGHT[/b] You look so good tonight I forgot to breathe You look so good tonight Keep your hands at your sides Did you leave something on I can feel something burn At six o'clock I thought At six o'clock I thought of your face I got my fingers caught My fingers caught in my knicker lace Something's not right tonight Some consolation Something's not right tonight You're a man, you're Not a child Not destroying a star You're destroying a constellation You're weaker than I thought You're weak and I'm starting to shake I haven't got an eraser In case we make a mistake Tomorrow you'll wake With head and heart ache Lungs right out of air Breathe in the breath that I forget to take In your big grey eyes I can see the wires You got bored of nice Your striking matches don't set me on fire Higher, higher, higher ..

Skol303 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 This is great! Thanks Si, and equally thanks to Nige and Kit for donating the stems - very cool I'm going to struggle to do this one - work is crazy for me at the moment (mid-August to mid-September is a total wipeout), but I'll do my damndest to have a go at it. Be a real shame not to. Failing that I may revisit these stems at a later date with a cheeky remix or some such... Anyway, I heartily recommend that anyone interested has a crack at this one. It's a fantastic track and a good opportunity to work with some proper material, so go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butlerk02 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Si, just having a look at the stems in logic and I can't work out what going on with the OH's. Missing oh.1 seems fine was planning on splitting these into mono tracks, but YLSoh.1 seems to be missing a chunk around the 1:21 mark.

JakeBrownBass Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm in on this one. Started on it last night already got it sounding how i want it. Now its just tinkering & cleaning up. Looking forward to getting the rest of the stems. I don't have K-Meter but i do have Waves Dorrough so i guess i can use that? Just i only have 14 18 & 20 to play with.

MiltyG565 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I missed this! You lot started the party without me!? I've been working on this. (got the stems from the other thread, but now just downloaded the backing vocals, in record time, might I add ). I have mine sounding pretty nice. A bit different from the version on the Bandcamp page. some of the instruments a bit more in your face, but it hasn't lost that kind of "dark" undertone that the song has. Now I've just got to fiddle with it until I can make it the best that my ability allows, which is almost certainly not enough to be the likes of Skol or Simon, or a whole bunch of you other guys Got to try and fit the BVs into it somehow now I don't like it when there's too much going on in a song. Same with everything really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
