mix clinic - song selection

[Cary]

Is anyone here interested in doing a mix clinic?

Perhaps someone here can 'donate' 16 or so tracks to a song and we'll all have a run at doing a mix.  It may be educational to discuss all the hows and whys.

If you have a song you think we could use, put up a rough mix.

Cary,

I definately would be interested.....and actually have something that might be of use....not sure how many tracks thou..I'd have to look.

let me know

Brina- put up a link to a rough mix of the proposed song.  Track count is not the issue.  I'm looking for a song which will sound good when properly mixed.

I have 2 really tough mixes. 'One Kiss' & 'Break With Protocol'. Both have at least 16 tracks. They won't be ready until the new year though.

I am up for this. Thanks for suggesting a clinic Cary. I have participated in clinics from various sites and always learn a few things.

Bill is running one at EPS. Like I said...much fun.

Cary I feel we could all benefit from a mix clinic at MCS. I know that some of the gang are trying to get their studio to at least accomplish pro-summer results.

I will help with anything you need.

Thanks!

Honestly Cary,

what I had in mind I'm not sure would meet the standard of sounding well if mixed right....<<<grin>>>>

you might remember it...

This is the lasted mix I have linked...played with it but decided to give up on it for awhile....

Great Nick, I think we can all learn more stuff.
As long as a lot of members get involved, we'll have a bunch of different approaches - and that will be very good.  My hope is that nobody feels intimated.  There are no losers in this.

Thanks Dave.  I think it would be best if we could select a song within the next week.

I'm hoping your going to take a stab at this too.

Ha!  Every board has to have em!

I've ran a few of these about 4 or five years ago and they were extremely insightful.

[DoozerDan]

Sounds like a good idea, I need some practice mixing

No doubt! They seem to be beneficial for more than one reason. Aside from the obvious, they help to "refocus" folks. However, as an administrator, I do note, that heavy participation, tends to slow down productivity elsewhere. Not, saying that is a bad thing. Just a noticeable one.
Good luck. With the active membership, it should go over well here.

I would take a stab at it but not for a few weeks now. Christmas & New Years is too close. Time to relax & get drunk !!
