OFFICIAL WEBSITE: reaMIXed.com


MIXING: 1-16 Oct
VOTING: 21-26 Oct
RESULTS: 28 Oct
FEEDBACK: 29-31 Oct



__________________________________________________

This month's track, "Buildin' It Up" was chosen by last month's winner sondretski, and is an americana track by Mclovins out of Hartford, Connecticut, courtesy of the Cambridge archives.

Note: In addition to the effects included with Reaper, the Tukan plugins (all current versions from ReaPack as of the 1st of the month) are considered part of the base installation for the contest, so if you're using plugins from this version of tukan, you don't need to include them in your submission. These are now included in mixcheck.

Non Reaper / Tukan JSFX are still allowed, but you need to include them with your submission.

Please remember:

-NO GLUING OF FILES / RENDERING OF EFFECTS

-ONLY NATIVE REAPER FX -or- non-Native JSFX files that you include with your submission.

It's recommended that you take advantage of the normalization settings in the reaper rendering dialog to meet the LUFS and dBFS requirements by:

1. Normalizing to -14 LUFS.
2. If your mix peaks at or under -1 dBFS, you're done!
3. If your mix peaks over -1 dBFS, rerender it, normalizing to -1 dBFS.

MixCheck (https://reamixed.com/mixcheck/) is still beta, it can help you by analyzing your .rpp files before you upload to:
- Make sure your they don't contain disqualifying audio files
- Make sure your they don't contain disqualifying VST/AU plugins
- See what non-native JSFX files you need to include in your zip file
- See what impulse files you need to include in your zip file

NOTE that Mix Check DOES NOT upload your mix, only checks your project file on your local machine.

Once Mix Check has been tested I may not require you to send in the mixed flacs, just the project files, jsfx and impulses. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.

You can download the multitrack from the website or clicking on this link.

-Daryl

Default Impulse Responses

Hi,
Fantastic song this month, Really love it!!

This will be my third contest, and I haven’t used any impulse responses up until now.
What exactly are the rules for using them?
I know We must upload them with the projects.
Do they necessarily have to be reverbs?

Oof. I knew I should have checked the multitracks beforehand. I've been down with covid last few days so haven't checked them at all. I guess it'll be a challenging one, lol.

Edit: Oh, it's a live recording. Makes sense then.

They don't have to be reverbs, they could be cabinet impulses for example. You can load them into the reaVerb plugin

Check out the video of the recording session.
It might help explain some of what you are hearing! :-)
