Thank you all for participating in the contest and thank you even more for your kind, understanding words. My wife has undergone surgery for her cancer and she's up and about, back at work. Her doctor says the cancer is gone and it is VERY unlikely to return. Your kind words tell what kind of people you are and I am thankful for every one of you who expressed concern. Thank you all.
Now, let's get to the mixes!
Piranha81
Love the kick drum! Sounds a bit too metal for this song though. But that's my only nit and it doesn't bother me that much. Good job!
G-Liou
Love the snare sound! And no other nits! Good job! Extra points for leaving the dog bark!!!!
Thiagoam88
Piano stands out to me immediately. Like it a lot! Is there a slap or some kind of double on the bass? The timing is off and it's distracting. Other than that, good job!
Photonic
Nice solid mix all the way through. Love the delay on the slide guitar during the ending. Good job!
VasDim
Love the snare! Cymbals seem to be panned a little wide. Good balance otherwise. Nice job!
Kolyev
Piano sounds great! Not too much on it to distract once the slide comes in. Slide is just slightly back of the mix. Love it! Bass guitar is a bit loud in the quieter sections. Extra points for leaving the dog bark! Good job!
Eric Tracks
Piano has a mellow tone to it but bright. Bass seems a bit loud in the quieter sections of the song. Kick is pretty low in the mix, which is not necessarily a bad thing but it should be a bit more prominent in this type of mix. There is a weird wobble in the right channel at the very end. I don't know what it is but it's very distracting. Extra points for leaving the dog bark! Nice job!
You all did very nice work on your mixes. Sometimes things get forgotten at mix time and the most important thing you should ask yourself with every mix decision you make (IMHO) is, "Is it good for the song?"
Now, the winner will be announced on August 1st... haha, just kidding! HEY, PUT THAT DOWN!
The winners are:
1. G-Liou!
2. Phtonic
3. Kolyev
4. VasDim
5. Piranha81
Again, thank you and congratulations to all who participated!

Thank you very much for the final evaluation, Jeff.
With that said - a big thank you to all participants. Since these were the Christmas holidays, we have 5 winners and therefore 5 licenses to pick up. Though please keep in mind, the sponsorship by JRR shop changed by now... it's not Sonivox anymore, but Audified STA Preamp.
Congratulation to the winners.
We now perform with the usual-usual.
Also... please keep in mind that we look for new audio material to mix. Else... see you in the next challenge.
