KVR MIX CHALLENGE - MC04 September 2014 - Winners announced.

[Fritze]

Hello folks,

here's my entry:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6l6jy9yx5pn1 ... e.wav?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0vdwcgb688mno ... e.mp3?dl=0

Story and Design:

For reference I listened to The Specials and Madness.
What I extracted was: Groove and fun and more groove.
Furthermore, I always enjoyed the cool horns on certain Reggae recordings.
Also Jan Delay's "Irgendwie, ..." has spectacular horns.
The super cool horns in "Big SunGlasses" begged for extra attention.
I wanted lots of energy from the great horns.
I also listened to The Police because of the Reggae influences.
Then it was clear to me that I want this raw energy
while the mix sounds "pop/hifi" at the same.

Kick
Gate against the bleed
Satin for some smoothing
DC8C2 compression for some smack
GlissEQ for a smile Eq

Multiply for that old school movement and some glitter presence

Horns
- Alto Saxophone, soloed it sounded great with those sugar sweet mid
(obviously a great instrument and great player!)
To make it fit my goals for the horns in the mix I did cut some of those mids
and boosted the nice breath and those wonderful lively noises
- Tenor Saxophone (again, beautiful instrument and great player!)
Basically a smile eq:
Bring up those warm lows
2 cuts to subdue those beautiful honks which unfortunately didn't serve my mix goals
Turned up some highs for this wonderful air
Hicut and Locut for control and roundness
- Trombone
boosted body and honk
cut some nasality
boosted lips
- Horns buss:
IVGI for smoothness
Satin for excitement
DC8C2 compression for defined attack and glue

Big cut @900 to let the nuances shine through that were hidden by the big mids
Small boost @5k5
VintageVerb for her own nice room
- Main male
DC8C2 compression for more details
Some wide cut @300 to subdue boom
Deep cut @700 to lift the curtain that veiled some details
Brought him more upfont with several boost between 1k5 and 7k5
VintageVerb for his own Ambience to present him more in the mix
- Background
Deep cut @780, low cut and a high shelf for balance and clarity
DC8C2 compression for better intelligibility

Sends:
- VintageVerb as an overall room, most signals are sent into this one
- 2 short delays, one to the right and one to the left
These define some walls of the overall space. Some signals are sent here

Stereo Buss:
Satin for some coloration and glue
SlickHDR for more glue
SPAN for sanity checks

Some automation of volumes and FX levels here and there to add excitement and fun.

I hope this is helpful. Enjoy!

So here is my entry:

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/o64hlvx ... yannis.mp3
http://www.mediafire.com/listen/32mtxib ... yannis.wav

I didn't use any pitch correction except 4-5 notes on the horns. I did some time editing on vocals and horns and a lot of volume automation on vocals.

On with the effects used:

Vocals: High pass around 100Hz for all tracks, background vocals were boosted a lot with both low and high shelf filters.
I used two compressors, one as a limiter for peaks, followed by a slow opto compressor reducing around 7db! And all that was done after volume automation on the clips. The female vocal was then de-essed, and the backing vocal was treated with a little pseudo stereo effect.
Panning was female R5, male L5, back R16.

Horns: Low shelf boost at 120Hz, high shelf boost around 6KHz and a slight dip at 1.8KHz.
Then compressed with gain reduction of about 3db, and distorted slightly with Camelphat, I love this plugin.
I kept Sax2 in the middle and spread on the sides Sax1 and trombone.

Distorted guitar: I used mainly the room mic with just a little hint of the close one, and spread them on opposing sides for stereo effect.
I high passed them at 90Hz and slightly boosted at 1KHz.
Panned slightly on the left.

Clean guitar: I only used the room mic. Camelphat was used again for lots of compression, a little flanging and an LFO automated band pass filter, like an autowah.
Panned like the distorted guitar.

Organ: Again, I only used the room mic, high passed at 200Hz, with a 5db boost at 2KHz.
Panned at opposite side of guitars.

Bass: Reamped with Amplitube's Gallien-Krueger bass amp. Boosted mids and highs and used lots of compression.

Drums: I didn't use the room mics, they didn't give me anything extra that I wanted.
Overheads were high passed at 100 Hz and a high shelf was used for 5db boost at 5
KHz. Then they were compressed with 10ms of attack for 3db of reduction.
Ride was high passed at 400Hz.
Hihat was high passed at 1.5KHz and boosted a lot at 10KHz. It was kept pretty low in the mix.
Toms were gated and then boosted a little around 150 Hz. Actually the floor tom was boosted a lot at 100Hz, and 5KHz for snappier attack.
Snare top was high passed at 100 Hz and boosted a little at 750Hz.
Snare bottom was high passed at 1KHz.
I only used the Kick in mic. The kick was gated, boosted a lot at 63Hz and a high shelf was used for attack boost at 3KHz. Then boosted the initial transients with Cubase's Envelope Shaper. Camelphat was used again for a little compression and tube distortion.
Then the drum bus was compressed just a little to glue everything together. Also used a little tube distortion.

Voices and horns were sent through a doubler for a little spreading out, just a little.

I only used one reverb, a medium room from EAReverb SE. I sent there everything but bass and kick. Again, just a little for ambience.

Finally on the master bus I used a little tape saturation from P&M's Analoger plugin, and a clipper for cutting off some drum peaks here and there.

Hi Everybody,

I hope I can participate in the KVR Mix Challenge contest with this one.

I finally managed to achieve this result :

https://soundcloud.com/dovstoi/knattert ... news-j-mix

I'm afraid of not being able to succeed in english to make a complete check-up of all the work that has been done on track... It's a very personnal interpretation of the song with special effect (flanger, LFO volume, Dynamiques processor, Ring modulator...). I really used my ReverbR (my own conception VST plugin) to add a particular color to the music and I wanted to bring to the forefront a grungie guitar. I hope you enjoy my version...

I could detail shortly if all my little tricks needed to achieve this

[westcoast2]

Another first timer to KVR mixing and doing a full band mix.

https://soundcloud.com/dwgh/knattertone ... westcoast2

https://soundcloud.com/dwgh/knattertone ... coast2-mp3

Mixed in reaper.
No timing or tuning adjustments.
No automation.

Here is a summary of what was done:

I listened to the preview and enjoyed the song. The mix I aimed for was a subtle, understated backing, with an emphasis on rhythm while retaining the energy within the vocal, distorted guitar and drums.

ReaEQ was used for High/Low shelving across all tracks before compression was added. In non drum/bass tracks TDR slickEQ was used as a HP filter. Initial mix was in mono with rough levels.

First off, tracks were grouped and coloured.

Next after further grouping, setting rough levels and listening, several tracks were split to enable custom settings to each part.

Splits:
Female Vocal 3 parts - verse, backing, verse. This enabled mixing with the backing vocal.
Male Vocal 2 parts - verse, last chorus. This was a volume issue since I wasn't using automation.
Clean guitar into 2 parts - strumming and picking.
Horn section into 2 parts - backing group and solos.

Once the sections were split, the various parts were worked on.

Unless otherwise mentioned, the following effects were used:
EQ - ReaEQ: Delay - ReaDelay: Gate - ReaGate,
Compression - Klanghelm DC8C2: Reverb - VOS epicVerb

Vocal:
All Vocals were eq'd using ReaEQ. The backing vocals were widened (TWest Wide) and mixed with the female vocal split. Compression (Various), reverb and delay were used on lead and backing vocals.

Horns:
The Backing Horns were EQ'd to give each horn space. There were Mid range boosts for the solos (slickEQ). The solo Trombone had some compression. All horns used delay.

Organ:
EQ'd to give Space for horns.

Clean Guitar:
EQ boosts for low/mid on picking split, some cuts for strumming split to fit with the organ.

Distorted Guitar:
Notched at 460Hz and 4300hz to remove some harshness. (maybe just me though).

Bass:
Added an AMP and Cab (NI Guitar Rig 5 - Bass Pro) for a fuller yet, when needed, still melodic bass. Some compression (NI Solid Dynamics).

Drums:
Phased corrected (TWest PhaseM), HiHat and Ride Cymbal EQ'd with mid and mid/hgh boosts (slickEQ), Bass drum compressed, Toms gated and compressed, Snare expanded and compressed (NI Solid Dynamics), and Overheads compressed. Some spill retained. Room not used - seemed to add mush whatever I did.

The next step was to convert the mono mix to a stereo mix and adjust levels. (Aside - I haven't fully grasped reference levels yet.) Nothing was added to the Master Bus.

Doing this mix was a big challenge for me. I hope I have done this great song justice, enjoy.

Hi,
here my mix:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/401 ... adio12.wav

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/401 ... adio12.mp3

i had a surgery at my right hand and now i sit here with a plaster cast at my brothers house, unable to play guitar, trying to type with my left hand, ...... i decided to participate on this contest, although i only have my headphones and computer speakers. My english is bad, but here are some additional infos:

First i started to tempoalign the drums and the bass, just to find out that i had to rebuild the song from scratch and destroy the overall feeling, if i wanted to go that route (beside that you need both hands for it, which was quite painful), so i mixed it as it was recorded.

Problem 2: the song does not rock that much, the drummer did not play his best take here i guess, so i did not mix the drums too punchy and loud because i think that would distract from the good things the band has to offer (you might not be able to fix things in the mix, but you can hide them a bit) to me it is better that the listener thinks : good band, but a bad mix, than vice versa....

Host was Reaper, i grouped the tracks, i gated the snare and the toms by hand, muted the outer bassdrum and the room mics.

I put a little tube/tapedistortion (studio devil preamp, and magnetic from nomad factory) on most of the tracks which sounded good to me because it made the sound a bit sharper and more agressive. I also used the levelling amp from Plug and play on the subgroups, all that resulted in a quite heavy compressed sound. Then i did some volume automation to get a part of the dynamic back.

I tried to get rid of the boomyness of the drums and bass, cutting some low mids between 200 - 400 hz and inserted highpassfilters(sweetone), the bass was sent through an ampeg emulation from amplitude and then heavily eqed to get a smoother attack and more of a reggae sound.

FX : One overall large plate from reverberate, a small room from nebulas roomhunters, for the clean guitar and the solobrass a springverb from Psp, on the snare a gated reverb from vallhalla realmod.
The vocals got some slapbackdelay and a bit de-essing, the backvocals were cut at 8khz to let them sound more distant, then sent to left an right with ADT, all this to seperate them from the lead vocals, the slapback of the lead vocals were off in the chorus. I put the same ADT on the distorted guitars to make them a bit more important, also a very small amount of the dimension d from P&P on the close guitartrack and the fenderemulation of S-Gear on the distant guitartrack at a very low volume just to add some character. On the organ i inserted the leslieemulation from P&P (yes i bought them for 49$ and i wanted to test them).
On the bus i put the Satin tape emulation and the psp mastercompressor working at -2 gain reduction, also the TDR Slickeq for a high shelf and a small cut at 1400hz and the Sheppyvst for a bit stereo widening, and, as you requested, no limiter.

I am sure i forgot some things, but if someone wants further infos, just ask, and thank you for listening.

We're within the final 24 hours of MC04.
Less than 18 hours left for submissions.

[jhkennedy5]

A different genre for me. I did some listening in an attempt to familiarize myself with the style. This is what I came up with.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/896 ... 140921.mp3

Nothing too unique in the mixing. HPFs on everything, subtle delays and reverb, etc. I did do some timing edits, but tried not to tighten up things too much. This song should not be clinically precise, I think. I decided the male vocal should be centered in the stereo spectrum during the chorus; same for any soloing instrument. It was fun to mix other instruments than guitars, bass, drums, and keys typical of rock and pop.

Hi all!
I did the whole work inside Reaper, with no time adjustment and pitch correction.
I started with drums, using Reaper’s TransientController to give more attack and lower some of the bleeds, that i finished to correct those via the ReaGate or the gate inside the Eventide UltraChannel with which I did most of the work on all the tracks.
On drums I cut the carboardy low-mids and enhanced the attack on high frequencies, hi-passed the cymbals and compressed, then on drum buss I added sparkle via Ignite’s Pultec emulation, then light compression and tape emulation.
For the bass I wanted a punk tipe of sound so I used Ignite amp emulation with some overdrive, cab impulse, eq and compression, standard with N.I. Supercharger and multiband with ReaXcomp. This one was a bit hard to get the right sound!
For clean/overdrive guitars and organ was mostly phase and volume match the tracks, correct resonances, eq, comp (all with UltraChannel) and volume balance. A little panning too.
Horns got also some eq/compression, but also a little automation for the solos.
Vocals where compressed before and after equalization, saturated via Acustica AcquaVox and chorused a little.
Then I Added 3 verbs, all via ReaVerb and Samplicity M7 impulse library, but I have to find a different solution because with my PC this setup gives some timing problems on playback (not on render though). The verbs where a room for most of the instruments, snare plate (gated) and vocals plate.
Slight delay on vocals with TAL Dub III.
The master was slightly compressed and saturated, then equalized with SlickEq to match a little better the frequencies curve of the reference track I choosed for this mix.

Brief description of what I did:

No pitch correction but did make some timing adjustments to snare track
Main problem encountered was in controlling the drum bleed, ride cymbal track being worst offender, gating did not work for most of the tracks so ended up doing a lot of manual cutting and disposing of unwanted sections in between hits
All drums were individually EQ'd and compressed then sent to group track for further compression and saturation, tried to do panning to fit with a normal drum kit set up. Overheads and room tracks not used
Bass EQ'd, compressed and amped
Guitars were copied and panned, each side EQ'd and amped differently for ADT effect
Brass individually EQ'd and compressed with automation of panning to ensure the lead/solo was always in centre, then sent to group track for delay and saturation
Vocals individually EQ'd and compressed, then sent to group track for delay and saturation
Single Reverb used on send
Master buss had about 1-2dB of 'Glue' style compression only, no limiting of any sort
