It's time for another contest, don't you think? This month the song is Much Too Much by Selwyn Jazz, chosen by the user Fergler who won the contest last month.

So! Do you want to have fun? Do you want to get some good feedback from other people that love audio as much as you do? Do you want to feel like a boss chosing the song for the next month? Well, my friend, the answer is only one:

JOIN THE REAPER CONTEST

__________________________________________________


CONDITIONS AND STEPS TO FOLLOW:

1) Download the source files from this link.

2) When you’ve mixed it send a zip file to reaper.contest@gmail.com with:
  • Your Reaper project
  • any reverb impulses you’ve used
  • any custom JSFX you’ve used (put them in an effect subfolder (project_path/Effects/))
  • a master mix (limited to -0.2 dB and at -14 LUFS): FLAC, 44.1 kHz, 24 bit
  • a note containing your username and your reaper profile URL
  • GLUED FILES AND SAMPLES ARE NOT ACCEPTED AND CAN COMPROMISE YOUR SUBMISSION.
3) Go to http://bit.ly/2n4L9Hn to listen to the submissions. Pick your 3 favourite mixes and take note of their ID numbers (look the track titles). You can also download the zip file "SUBMISSIONS" with an RPP containing all the files.

4) Go to this link and vote your 3 favourite mixes.

__________________________________________________


HOW TO LIMIT YOUR MIX AND MEASURE ITS LOUDNESS:

Limiting:
In order to avoid your mix going over a certain volume, you need to use a Limiter. If you need a limiter, a suggest using the JS: Event Horizon Limiter/Clipper. You just need to put the ceiling to -0.2 and to bring down the threshold if you want your mix to get louder (but more compressed at the same time).

Loudness:
Loudness is measured in Loudness Unit (LU) or Loudness Unit Full Scale (LUFS). In order to check your loudness, you need a Loudness Meter such as the Youlean, HOFA and Orban loudness meters.
Try to look for a short-term value of -14 LUFS. In your limiter, bring down the threshold until you reach that value. Alternatively, you can print your master mix limited to -0.2 dB, without touching the threshold and let the SWS/BR: Analyze Loudness do the job. If you prefer doing it this way, follow these steps:
  • Install the SWS extension
  • Open a new project
  • Drag your limited mix into the project
  • Extensions > Loudness..
  • Select your item
  • Press "Analyze selected items"
  • Right click on the analyzed item in the loudness tool
  • Normalize.. > -14 LUFS
  • Export it again
__________________________________________________


A few VERY important notes:
  • DON'T RENAME the source files and the source folder.
  • DON'T SEND ME the source files.
  • READ TWICE this post before sending me your zip file. If I ask for a FLAC don't send me an MP3 or a WAV. Please, it's not that difficult and it would make my life a lot easier!
  • DON'T GLUE ANY FILE
  • DON'T USE SAMPLES

But March is a long month so I'm going to try my best.
