Does anyone else wonder how they'll ever complete EQ Cheetah?! I literally don't think I can flick between the EQs of 25 songs in 60 seconds, let alone pick the correct one as well - and if you get one wrong answer, the app seems to take too long to load the next song \_(ツ)_/

Hi everyone! Is it just me being paranoid or is there a low rumble with the sound of "level complete"? 😅

Not sure if SoundGym will like or allow but the "EQ, Practice, EQ Matching" exercises are a nice supplement in my opinion. https://pae.izotope.com/
Cheers!

Is there a way to reset the level on your games so that you start at level 1 again?

Hi everyone,
Am I the only one hearing drastic level changes in Distorted Reality amongst others, somehow not every question, but for a few times in a row, number 9. Levels are also inconsistent sometimes in Dr comp, not too sure how these exercices are made. Are they generated or are they pre made "by hand"? Is there a "loudness" check more than a level check perhaps? Obviously not concerning Eq games or dB...
Is it all by design, or as some'd say in the live indu...

Better late than never. Here's my mix of Pete Mroz – “Open Up Your Eyes”.

Really fun to mix. Not much to say about what I did. Struggled a bit with the drums but that's normal. Let me know what is sounds like on your system. Thanks

I really liked this song! This time I decided to focus on the "macro" side of the mixing, groupin together the main elements and processing them as a single unit, then added effects, reverbs and delays.. ;p

Hello everyone, hope you had a great week and didn't make too many poor financial decisions involving plugins during black friday :p!

I had a good time mixing the track this week even though I kind of deviated from my strategy early on. Since this is a multitrack from Produce Like A Pro and was produced/recorded by Warren, I figured the tracks included were purposeful and I should try to keep as many as possible. However, I axed a few of the drum stems (a bass drum, a couple of snare ...

Hello Everyone!!!
It is my version Pete Mroz – “Open Up Your Eyes”

I didn't much time for mixing this session. to my opinion this tracking looks amazing and all tracks did record well. in this session i use a classical Reverb like a Lexicon 224, EMT140, Lexicon 480 and Bricasti and API channel stripe emulation by Softube. I did mix version only and I haven't lot of time for mastering. Thanks for your attention

Hi everyone,

This week is my first time here in the mixdown training room. Usually, I am a live sound engineer, this is also my first time mixing a well-recorded studio recording. I'd like to hear what you think of it and all feedback is very welcome.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xWMu9RL6W2jOkPARbJnhOSx7uPAb4JBR/view?usp=sharing

Oh, and I must say that I love this concept. It's amazing to gain experience in mixing studio recordings from home.

Here is my mix of "Open up your eyes". I was looking to get an open "airy" mix. I also waned the lead vocal to feel like the person was sing to you in person. So I tried to bring the lead vocal up in the mix as far as I could without causing an unnatural separation with the instruments, I hope. Most of the tracks were Eq and compressed using the waves SSL EV 2 channel strip. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T076yNbH8k4AOIqhxlUQJ4yeaSkj-Ba-/view?usp=sharing

Hi Soundgymers. I’ve had a lot of work this week and haven’t been able to invest too much time in the soundgym mix. I usually do different mixes and finally choose the best one. This week I did a single quick mix that took me 2 hours which for me is very little time. The song is very beautiful and very well recorded, although I got a little lost with so much drum and bass tracks and so few guitars and voices. At first I had thought not to publish this week, but finally I thought it was also ...

Hello everybody, I hope you're doing marvellously well!! ;-)

Here comes my try at Pete Mroz - 'Open Your Eyes'.

Went for API style emulation this time + additional inserts where needed. I changed my mixing template and used VCAs a lot this time. Also I implemented much more parallel FX esp. on the LV than in my earlier mixing attempts.

I found it it ...

Good day,

this is my idea for this song.
A parallel plate reverb on the instruments, and a stereo (very, very short 39L/89R ms) parallel delay on voices.
Probably there will be the "usual" problem above 5kHz...

Hello everyone!

After a while doing nothing I felt inspired by an illustration and thought of doing some lil' experiment. So now I am curious to receive some constructive critic, especially being the first rime I produce something with Ableton Live (which I'am learning to appreciate everyday more) and given the fact that I am not a producer but really more of a player/instrumentalist.

I love to take inspiration from images when it comes to create music. I strongly believe...

Does anyone have any good advice for Bass Detective? I find myself struggling with this one, particularly I think because the frequency spectrum is zoomed in visually. I'm used to EQ cheetah and others with the full spectrum, so I find when it it is zoomed in I keep favoring the left side more. Thanks for any advice!

Black Friday deal, looking at this SSL deal for there Native FlexVerb https://store.solidstatelogic.com/products/ssl-native-flexverb
$29 versus regular $279, unlike other companies that sell everyday for $29, this looks like might be worth it. Haven't found a lot of reviews online, anyone have experience with this?
