GROUP MIX week 2: "Fiction Meets Truth" submissions and discussion...!

-15 dbfs rules! :-) their preamps are still warm three month after the takes :-) very (too much) hot on tape...

what's the original BPM? not so far from 90, but... anything more precise? the tone is B major.

original tempo is 72.5 on 6/8 or 145 on 3/4 depending on how you count it (for me it's 6/8 because the drummer play with "ternary" feeling) sorry My english is pretty bad... I don't kow if we can say that like this I want to say "un feeling ternaire"

Here's my version. I didn't have a whole lot of time or I would have done more editing. There are a lot of clicks in the bass track. I didn't take all of them out. I did change up the bass line because it just didn't fit in certain places. If I was mixing this for real, I would have done a lot more, but this song needs a lot of work. I used bootsy, ferox and js and reaper plugs: bootsy: ferox: Anyway, here it is: Song: RPP:

Great idea I will do one too. Thanks for sharing. ________

Here's my mix. Uses Variety of Sound, Reaper and Digitalfishphones plugins. MP3: RPP:

Here are my mp3 and project files, I've included the impulses for the project in the zip files. I've edited quite a lot and changed the arrangement on a few places, because like was said earlier, the arrangement was getting in the way of the song reaching its full potential. More could be done if you were able to (re)record some parts, but I'm still quite happy with the way it turned out. mp3: rpp+ impulses:

Here's my version: I've used only free plugins and free impulses for reverbs. if i had to do a SERIOUS mix of this song there would be a lot of editing to do...bass,drums and guitars are a bit out of time here and there and the voice is often slightly out of tune but i did not do any editing at all here because i've very little time ( see serious work :-D ) Thanks Schmidty and nice song btw!... however a more "careful" arrangement and musical execution could enhance the song a lot :-D

Dude, Schmiddy you made this? Dude I love that song! Seriously, Ima mix the shit out of this piece! Or at least I'll try! Absolutelely lovely piece. :) So simple and so lovely and warm! Thank yoou! *mixing* DONE: Only Reaper Plugins used. Very rough stuff we got here. Doing this was a hell lot of fun. :) The 2nd real mix I ever did, love it! I beg for any kind of criticism. :) Have a nice day!

I thought it was a pretty good mix. There's something funny on the compressor setting you have on the vocal. It may just be that your taking a little too much off, or a problem with the threshold setting or something. When He starts singing a phrase I hear his voice come in loud, and then duck down and he never seems to make it up to that same volume again. It's not on every part, but it happens. Would you disclose the settings on that for us, since we're all learning here? Thanks.
