Default The Reaper Mixing Contest - September 2023: Chaque Fois

REAPER CONTEST - September 2023
(ONLY REAPER / TUKAN PLUGINS ALLOWED)

Click here to donate




OFFICIAL WEBSITE: reaMIXed.com


MIXING: 1-16 September
VOTING: 21-26 September
RESULTS: 28 September
FEEDBACK: 29-30 September



__________________________________________________

This month's track, Chaque Fois, was chosen by last month's winner Svein. It's by Klôpmin and was submitted by Alan Perez.

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, you just 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.

Happy mixing anniversary!
-Daryl

Is anyone else noticing the odd artifacts in some of the tracks?

Seems like there is some noise gating baked in as well.

Default Bass

The bassist should buy a new cable, the one he used for the recording is probably broken...?

According to the track name, it's an upright... maybe a bad microphone?

Yes, there is some noise on tracks. Raising long tail (like a snare springs). It is audible on most of the drum set tracks. Appears after each hit.

Default A big thank you to everyone who mixed my piece!

Hi everyone, I'm Alan.

I made this piece with snippets of recordings and some improvisations on top of it.

I'm so excited to hear such pleasant and professional mixes of this little piece that I made thinking about conveying the camaraderie of a Sunday barbecue with friends.

It's clear that you captured the idea very well and I'm happy to listen to your mixes. Thank you so much for your time and good taste.

Greetings to all.
