Hey @Vlad Po, Are you using a demo plugin? Some companies use a random silence trick or inject noise so it can't be used on a real mix.

Hey Vlad,
That is a bumpy listen with the drop outs ;)
I like the balance. The mix is lacking a bit of low end imo. The bass, especially when it plays in the higher registers does not give that warm filling. I would roll of some highs of the overhead mics. But that of course is my opinion / taste.
Nice listen

@Hans Mulders, "That is a bumpy listen with the drop outs ;)" -
I'm sorry.
Thank you for finding the strength to listen :))
This is my second mix, I still have a lot to learn, so your opinion is very important to me!

Hi Vlad, in my opinion the vocals stick to much out, so the band is not together with the vocalist, panning could be more in the drums i think. Do you know where the dropouts came from? Like to know if you found the problem and could share it :)

@Joor E, yes, @Mark Milbourne immediately identified my problem, this is a demo plugin)) Vocals: my reference was the original track of this song, I think this is a stylistic feature, but maybe I just didn't succeed) If you listen to it and compare it with mine, I would be grateful to you . https://www.puremix.net/zelab-mixing-contest/mixing-contest-al-schmitt-cyrille-aimee.html

Vlad, one thing that is important to understand in this business. Treat Mixdown Training Room like a client. Don't post (or send a client) anything until you have it the best you can make it. If that means missing the deadline, so be it. If you knew that you have these drops, you should have fixed them before you posted. Problem solving is part of mixing. Now that you have fixed the issue please replace the link above with the new version. Thanks -- tough love

You lead this group, your rules apply here and if you say, then I will delete this post. It helped me find out the cause of the problem, but I haven't fixed it yet. It is important to consider that this was useful not only for me, but also for Joor E: "Do you know where the dropouts came from? Like to know if you found the problem and could share it :)"
If you think that we shouldn't help each other here, I will delete this post.

@Vlad Po --- Sorry if I made it confusing sounding. I'm not saying delete the post. I am suggesting that you fix the drop out problem in the mix and replace the link with a version that has no drop outs. That's all.

Nice. Sounds pretty good. I think overall the drums could come up in volume. And I might bring the vocals down a db or 2, but just a touch - imo. Thanks for fixing it.
