All tracks are 24bit, 44khz WAV files. A Pro Tools 7.3 ptf session file is provided, but not required, as it just contains the tracks laid out in Pro Tools.

Your mission is to do the best mix you can of this song then post the MP3 of your final mix to this thread. Then we'll all vote on a winner.

Start your engines Nick and Jeremy. Good luck!

Sorry I don't have a prize - the winner will get recognized as the big cheese on the forum!

Justin,
cool.. thanks

Is there a deadline?

Jeff

No deadline - let me know if there's a problem with the file. This is a simple demo that I think represents well a typical solo artist project. I was thinking about some rules about not adding instruments or voices beyond what's in the file but, heck, do what you want - this is a creative exercise. Of course, we also want to find out what happens when audio is processed through Jeremy's word clock cables and quasi-grounded audio gear. Prepare for some sparks gentleman!

Prepare for some sparks gentleman!


But of course..
I don't think my skill set measures up.. but it should be fun and educational to see what people are able to do with the same material from all the differnt creative back grounds..

All the best..

JUStin you serious Idiot!

Eat total crap!

So....I guess Rider's out....Either that, or that's his way of saying "my mix will be better than yours"....

bzack tyou? What?

Man, I got to get with Rider. He gets some r e a l l y good weed.

I thought this was between me and Nick. But actually it would be very interesting to here what everyone comes up with. This is what "The Mix Posse" does all the time. They post tracks, people take a crack at a mix. Very cool because you can hear interesitng ideas of things you wouldn't think of.

I got nothing aginst Nick, desipe his angry nature, I love the guy. I'll start on it tommrow, I mean later today...
