I've done a mix and I've taken advantage of the "add creative effects" rule. It's mixed to -16LUFS (long term) and details, if you're curious, are in the now somewhat long-winded mix notes file here: http://gamma-ut.com/downloads/mc18-gamm ... xnotes.txt

Pretty difficult mix. I didn't stray too far from the original, although I went for a more electronic sound.
Some glitch FX were used to enhance some of the transitions.
Apart from that, lots of saturation was used and the usual automations on volume, filters and EQ settings. Loudness is in the same range as for past mix challenges and I only used little processing on the master bus (just for glue as in the last challenges).

Here's my entry. Cool contest in the fact that there was plenty of room for interpretation. I've never done an "Industrial" mix and found it very difficult to distort and mangle tracks when it is generally my goal to clean & punch up tracks instead - so I found a comfortable compromise for me. I liked the unmangled sound of loop1_bip but still needed the trashy sound so I duplicated the track & ran one clean & punchy then ran a HP filter on the other and slammed it with Trash 2 to get the "industrial" sound. I hope you enjoy my 1st venture into this genre - I did!

First Mix Challenge for me, had a blast. Difficult to mix the low end as I've got tiny monitors but it was a good experience and I've identified a weak link in my studio.
Everything done in Reaper, mostly used stock FX/plugs but did use TDR Compressor on the master buss, TAL Reverb 4, Magnus Ambience, Voxengo Sample Delay, and AU Delay.
I dropped the drums and the loop at one point, hopefully this doesn't constitute a "remix"!
Hopefully the link below is working. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7dvacdati0ni ... 0.wav?dl=0

Unfortunately, neither of these links seems to be working for me, you wouldn´t happen to have a Soundcloud account you can upload the mix to?

I'm not sure if this will work as I don't have enough posts. Anyway:

Hi,
First time here.
Focussed on balancing, EQ, automation.
Did not add anything, did not mute/unmute, not sure if that's allowed.
Bit of eq and compression on 2bus.
Nice tracks to work with.
I focussed on sound and less on the storyline
It's nice to hear the very different styles of mixes here.
If there are better options than Soundcloud do let me know.
Good luck to all.

Mix Notes;
Worked in Reaper.
Started with gainstaging the clips.
First EQ every track; HPF, remove bad stuff between 150h and 600h some LPF and maybe add something nice.
Just a bit of delay for depth
Insert; -very short mono delay insert on vocals, snare, cymbals
Sends; one 1/16 and one 1/8 mono delay for some depth on vocals and some others
Reverbs;
Lexicon PCM, Waves IR1 Room, Acon Digital CM all heavily eq'd
short Room or Plate for drums, bass and guitars
one medium Chamber
one long hall
Vocals went to 3 (short medium and long) reverbs a bit
Pad and string to long reverb.
Automation; Volume to make some room, also automated some sends to reverb and delay.
For the rest compression, saturation
Most used plugins not mentioned;
Meldaproduction MAutoDynamicEQ
Waves DBX 160
Bluecat Flanger on Loop
TB Ferox
Soundtoys L Radiator and L Microshift and Devil Loc
Meldaproduction modulation plugins
Sonalksis SV315 compressor
Readelay and some others
On 2bus;
TDR Kotelnikov; just a bit of compression
Waves Puigtec; warmth and brightness
Toneboosters EQ; a bit of overall EQ
TDR Nova; a bit of 2band compression Low and high
Learned a lot recently from Puremix website about eq (easier to pinpoint the problems now), delays for depth and overal workflow (Not affiliated).
And just last week I changed the way I use Reverb from watching on Youtube;
Albert Cuna, #25 The legendary layered reverbs trick.
This made working with a short, medium and long reverb insightfull to me.
For this mix I focussed on the basics. I would have liked to give more attention to bring main parts more to the front and transitions.
I like what others have done with that.
