πŸ”” MIXDOWN TRAINING ROOM - New MIX for the WEEK!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hello everyone!
The new pick for the week is SPECIAL! Thanks to @Leigh #95 we will get our hands on a Dua Lipa song! I do not tell you the title β€˜cause the main focus will be to mix the track, following primarly our taste and instinct.
Considering the size of the project, I decided to post two links, one with the original multitracks recorded in 48Khz -32 bit and a lighter version in 44.1 Khz -24 bit, hoping this way to avoid CPU overload.. It will be fun! πŸ˜πŸŽ€πŸŽ›οΈ

Here is the link:
Dua Lipa (48Khz – 32 bit)

Dua Lipa Lite version (44.1Khz – 24 bit)

=========================================================
Posting date/due date is any time on this coming SUNDAY March 06th. (Every Sunday)
- Please download the "Full Multitrack" session.
- Post your link here in "MixDown Training Room".
- Don't forget to share your ideas or workflow.
- If you use Soundcloud set the link to private.
- Don't forget to level match when listening to other mixes.
- (Optional) When comparing your mix with other's and for better sonic results, download the finished mixes into your DAW and level match each track to compare.
- Constructive comments and feedback are always appreciated! ;P

*** PLEASE, POST ALWAYS THE MIXED VERSION FIRST AND THEN THE MASTERED ONE (IF YOU WANT TO MASTER YOUR SONG), USING 2 SEPARATED LINKS ***
- one with the mix (trying to stay around -14 LUFS)
- one with the master

P.S. I removed two tracks from the "Lite Version" because the audio was damaged.
They are: "JJ loop duplicate" and "Vocal throw P_P", you can still find them in the original multitracks zip if you want to test them ;P

Everyone, please try to not reference this song until AFTER you post on Sunday. That way you can compare your instincts with the original commercial mix. Treat it as if the producer sent you these tracks and you have been chosen to mix the song for commercial release. What would you do? Most of the work has been done for you. Your job is not to screw it up.

Is the file Perc 20_01 out of sync or do I just have crap rhythm?

Hey Tobias, everything is on sync, anyway you can try tweaking slightly the perc track and see if it sounds better to your ears! ;P

Yeah, did move it but only spent 2 mins on it. Will give it another go. Did sound better when buried in the mix.
