mix clinic - song selection

[Cary]

I'd like to participate...

Is this something you do with ape files?

I have trouble getting anything off MCS larger than about 4 MB.

I can probably get someone to echo it to my server that works with dial up.

Hi Tac
I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm going to supply low quality wma's or similar type files.  We're looking to improve our skills in this exercise and sound quality is of the upmost importance.

Perhaps if you PM me a mailing address, I can send the wav files to you.

All are welcome.

I'm going to be putting the files up tonight.  There will be a link to one large RAR file for those who want to do the download in one shot.  That file is about 250 meg.

I will also provide a thread where I'll have all the ape files attached as separates.  That is for those who need to be able to download this song in sections.

This song contains about 28 tracks.

Anxiously waiting.....

So, is this an educational thing...where we learn how to mix?

Or is this a mixing contest amongst those who already have certain skills?

I'm confused.

Educational clinic run by Cary. There will be much learning! 

[Sternen]

How exactly does it work?  everybody doing their own mixes and getting critiques, tips, and suggestions along the way?

[jeff]

I'll have to sit back and watch for a while. 28 tracks is way too many for me to start learning.

[Suggestion Box]

I'd like to propose a future clinic...like Mixing Drums for beginners. What to do, what to use, how to do, why to do. Clinic on adding vox, bass, guitar or whatever next clinic, til we work thru all the parts.

That would help me alot. Maybe that is what you have in mind.

Jeff-
you're doing this dude (i hope)... there is no harm, only gain.
Check the rules thread at the top of this forum.

Clinic:  group instruction session, a teaching session in which an expert in a particular field gives practical instruction and advice to a group.

Ok, I don't claim to be an expert, but I've done quite a few mixes in my day.

[jeff]

I may take a swing at it.

I'm intimidated and realistic about 28 tracks. I know me, I'll bail before I get thru it all.

I'll be watching for sure.

You'll be just fine. 28 tracks is nothing to be intimidated about, honestly.

It's just a matter of working with the mix small steps at a time. The more tracks you have, the easier it is to get a better mix as long as the master tracks are well recorded and are "clean". You'll get lots of help - so please have a go. I'm no expert either - but I do look forward to this exercise because it's a great learning learning opportunity where the participants can learn from the "strengths" of their peers.

Once the wav files are available, I'll be downloading them.

Too bad you guys don't have web cams set up. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...or notes...or tracks...hehe.

[Tacman7]

250meg rar? You going to put pars too?



No, I wasn't ever wanting lower quality, just on a server that doesn't time out on a dial up connection.

You probably wasn't going to put it on MCS anyway?

Thanks for offering to repost Sternen.

250 mb in pieces could be done on dial up but I don't know.

I'll have to actually go in to the office and download the file.

Oh Woa is me.


Sounds like fun though...

[Sternen]

I will be downloading them tonight, and will start the upload just before i go to bed tonight, i will pm you a link to the files in the morning.

Cary -- in the meantime is there a link to a rough mix of the song we will be doing, just so I can start getting my head wrapped around it while the files are downloading?

There is probably a mix of the song somewhere but I recommend you don't go there.  Try to be as open minded as possible regarding instrument level and part selection.  There are so many way to skin a cat.
Have fun!

[Brina]

yeah you guys don't wanna hear the mix...

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!


still say 250 is way better than the original 404...

PS Jeff...if I can do it you can!..
