WWAYM Team announces a competition.

You get a mixdown. You have to show your mastering skills by optimizing it to 0 dB. The result must be as loud as possible but with taste. Quality is your goal. You can use any software or hardware except WWAYM Dynamix to achive the best result. The only condition is that the used software/hardware must be legal because winners will have to explain the chain they used.

Before the winner announcement WWAYM will reproduce the winner's work by using only WWAYM Dynamix to demonstrate the value of the plugin.

More info and the downloadable file here:

Good luck!

I will give it a shot- I dont like stuff to be overcompressed/limited though so I prolly wont win...

"The result must be as loud as possible but with taste."

I think this says a lot.

It's your choice... make it sound as good as it would be your own track.

And you can use as many plug-ins as you want?

Think I could still go a bit higher, but I'm afraid some clippings would occur.
Do I win a copy of your NWSynth now?

Doesn't this mean you get to pick a winner who's work you can duplicate, or am I missing something here?

Nope. We would be happy, if we could pick someone we cannot copy!
