Pls Mix me

Hi,

I want you to download this bundle file and use only Sonar7 equipment to polish so we can understand how to handle problem instruments, like kick, bass, hihat etc...

At least you can touch at bass and kick, and final mix... You can upload as s preset.

This can be very important for some people here, to seeing your eq, comp setting can give us triggering point..!

Pls do this

HERE

Everyone says Sonar 7 has great mastering plug ins and most of us has.

Thank you so much, that would be great

OK Im digging this..... I kinda like it as is but Im gonna mash it up anyway.

I had some free time today, and I did a static mix of your tune using nothing but Sonar 7 package processing, as you requested. PM me an Email where I can send you an MP3. You can then post my mix here if you'd like.

Regards,
JP

MF,

I got your PM, but no contact info on where to send file.

Wow... I started messing with this tonight and I have discovered that I am not qualified to mix this type of music. LOL

I feel like a ton of automation is needed (which I rarely even use) but Im gonna do a quick mix like I was mixing a rock record. Not to offend but these tom rolls are out of line IMO. I just cant make anything of them.

Has anyone else felt like the strings didnt need anything done to em? I also thing plain ole shelving works here. Am I completely wrong?

Just so you know. My son came in and said he loved it and wanted to pass this on to his friends. He thought I created the tracks LOL

Man I hate to screw up an already great IMO track.

The Strings needed EQ adjustment, as well as almost all the rest of the tracks. There are a couple of tracks where the instrument timbres arent very good, and very tough to mix in ( #12 & 14 especially), but thats going to happen eventually when you are working with digital software synth sounds as your source audio.

I wanted to have a some fun and get some practice in. I normally do Huge Rock stuff. So this was interesting and fun to work on. Especially since I was restricted to the Sonitus suite, predominently.

MF,

In the PM, you asked for me to state my EQ, Comp, etc ...settings. To do that would take me forever, as I processed nearly every track differently. I can send you a Cakewalk Project File, as that would be the easiest way to go.

So where do I send the template file?

Oh my dear God..!

JP4321 i've just load your template and import the wav's... This is first time for me to see real settings on my Sonar, in my room... I first time see sonar simulates master out level like recording..! I see how you set comp, reverb, pan... This is so useful, many thanks JP..! Kick was giant, i didn't do that, sounds so cool now

I need while to understand this...

"My Favorites", I just sent you my take on reality...your mileage may vary. Check your e-mail.

Thank you so much for your effort... You both give me so much idea, i appreciate that..

Hey, look what they have done with my song, take look inside how they use Sonar's EQ's, comps etc... Look how kick sounds..! I wish some more people would participate in here..!!!!

Here is the first template came from JP4321... I loved the kick here, i couldn't believe kick was playing awesome :))

And this one from bassmanx, i like this little more because i can hear all instruments the way i want to hear.. I am going to use ideas from both and make my own mix

If you have problem with bassmanx' s file, you mixdown the problem channels from original bundle file i first uploaded and import to bassmanx's template.. In case if you don't know


My next song will be far more beautyfull

Give me a minute

ah, ok.. nice..

I dare to post my mix too..
but it's made with Sonar 6PE.. and, as I said, I used some "other" plugins..
I'll try to "convert" to all-sonar-plugs when I have time.. maybe this weekend.
the kick is a real challenge.. I would replace it with another sample..
I didn't edit all the tracks..
anyway.. here it is:

Hey Fav,

I am glad you like my mix a bit..
I'll send you the original-file as soon as I can (wont be in the next 18hours though)
and, as I said, I will also try to convert to all sonar plugs and send you that file too..
I mixed over my K271 Headphones.. so there's probably a lot of eq'ing to do in the mid-range..
The snare, I am not sure if I should tell you.. agh.. at the risk that some people jump on me for this.. it's a "gated reverb" effect that I applied.. so you only hear the reverb as long as the snare hits.. I just recently started to try this effect and began to like it..

I think the most important non-sonar effects I used were the MPL-1 Limiter (a bit on the master-bus), Voxengo Soniformer for the "width".. it gives the mix more "dimension". I also sparely made use of Ozone (Master reverb, and a bit of eq on the drum-bus I think.. that can easily replaced by sonar-plugs). The free Camel Crusher on the bass-track.
You'll see when you get the file.
I wish I had that melody-track mixed a bit louder..
Delays are my favorite effects.. so you hear them quite a lot on my mixes
