The Cakewalk User Group on Facebook is having a mixing contest
using the Demo project "Living for Now" by Sophie Jane.  The contest
involves using only stock plugins.  I didn't want to mix using the stock 
plugins, but did do my own mix of the song, which I present here.

I combination of Waves and Slate mostly depending on the Instrument,
and, of course, O7A for Mastering.
I was REALLY happy with this mix...

EDIT:  Forgot to say Thanx Wookie!   That's not like me!
I was babysitting this morning so was typing in a hurry!

Thanx Baps!  

Having good tracks helps a lot.  There was some noises
I had to deal with...but all in all, I was quite happy with 
the result!

Hi Larry ,
 
I have listened to this a couple of times since you first posted it. Reason for not commenting sooner is simple... I don't know enough about mixing proper music to give any real helpful criticism.
 
That said, I did go through a short phase a couple of years ago where I had a go at the Boz Digital Labs contest a couple of years ago, and I enjoyed that, even though it is so far away from what I would normally "mix." It certainly helped me gain a better insight of dealing with all the different elements within a song, how to make space, all that kind of stuff. And it has helped loads with my ambient stuff. At least I would like to think so.
 
Anyway, back to your mix of Living For Now... Yeah, listening on my "not-so-great" Tannoy Reveal active nearfields... not the best to listen on, but better than headphones I guess, and it does sound really good... Nice and clean, and I love how the bass comes over on my monitors. On my third listen because it is taking so long to type my waffle
 
 
cheers

Sounds quite good except the lead vocal is a bit sibilant (could use a de-esser) and could use some lower mids. Aside from that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Very nice mix, Larry!  Bass is sounding really good in this, very nice and well balanced.
