MPV and UA Remix Contest. SongCraft: Producing The End Men [CLOSED]

where are the stems

Hi sounds and knobs,

The stems are in this article... Follow the instructions above under the heading "How to Enter" and you should see the stems in the SoundCloud box. Then click on them to preview them. You can click on the "Download" button to download them.

Thanks,

Out of curiosity, is only one submission per entrant allowed?

What a extra ordinary tutorial thank for sharing your technique i appreciate your thinking and idea.....thank...!!!

Remix or Remaster ?

Remix or remaster ? :)

Just joined and downloaded the stems. Wish me luck!

@Lung : You can submit multiple entries if you like!

@Julius - both are perfectly acceptable. Really, using the raw stems and mixing them in that style and submitting is good.

Equally, transforming the original into another style is also great!

:)

@joshuaspatrick - Good Luck!! :)

We got stems! Here we go! :-)

Technical issue. Original bass file. DC 1000 Hz or leave it eliminated completely? :)

Is it just hide the instrument of mass?

Hi there, I tried to spy on chosem tempo:) as I could not see it from the videos...yes...I can find out...just please, could you reveal the BPM, so to be sure...and to encourage more electronic vibes into this rock stuff?

I just droped the mix down into soundclouds drop box witch luck

Best regards

Congratulations to all entries!!

Now comes the tough job for The End Men and DubWays crew to go through these excellent remixes and pick the best one...

:)

Good luck everyone!

great song
UAD is great!!

I really want to win :)

Is it already closed?!? I just uploaded a song and it's 4 minutes to midnight in Germany (CET). Which means midnight PST is still 8 hours away!
Or did I miss something?

Hi Michael,

I'm afraid so. Midnight on September 14 already happened. 12am is the beginning of the next day... in this case friday September 14th.

We'll be sure to make this clearer for the next remix contest.

Best,
R

Well, last time on the Lauren Balthrop remix contest the dead line was midnight on june 11th (it said in the TOC: "The closing date for entries is midnight on June 11th, 2012."). This time it said "The closing date for entries is midnight on September 14th, 2012."

I had asked you what midnight you mean back then, too, and you answered:

"Rounik
closing date for entries is midnight PST = 8am on 12th June BST."

So why is it different this time?
Since there have been many new entries yesterday (on September 14th) I'm not the only one who thought it would be midnight between 14th and 15th!

So please consider the entries from the 14th to be valid.

Thanks.

Hi Michael and All entrants that submitted on the 14th September unto 11.59pm Pacific Time / 7.59am BST...

First, I'd like to apologise for any lack of clarity and I fully acknowledge that I could've been clearer in the T&C - and in the next contest we definitely will use a different time so there's no confusion.

Secondly, any entries submitted unto 11.59pm PT on 14th September will be included in the judges consideration. I'll pass this note on to them now.

Thanks to all and good luck!

xa xa xa. I have 20 versions of

Thank you, Rounik. I appreciate it.

Good luck to everybody!

Thanks!

Hi Ben,

Aiming to announce the results tomorrow. Will be in a new article on MPVHub (you'll see it on the main page of macProVideo.com).

It'll also include a video-wrap up of all the best remixes that didn't make top-three... but the Dubway crew wanted to shout out :)

Thanks again for your patience... not long to go now!

Best,
Rounik

Results next week ? :)

Next week??... Oh, no! Definitely this week - should be all ready to roll tomorrow...

:)

I had my submission mastered last week, quite happy about it .. a shame i couldn't get it done in time for the contest .. :(

Well.. now that the decision has been taken I can talk. I wish to thank you for this opportunity, because I learned a precious lesson by mixing this song, something about "masking", which, before this contest, I thought being my worst enemy, but it can be a very useful thing when you want things sound powerful. I actually draw my automations before eqing, strange but true (it's the first time I do something like that)! I'm very happy for this finding and I have to thank you for this.
Cheers!

Angelo

draw = drew
my mistake,
sorry for my english!

Angelo

@Angelo, automation is key! ..some people just setup they're EQs and Comps and think the job is done. Try experimenting with volume automation both before and after a compressor. Mostly, post-compressor automation gets the job done (especially if it's doing a lot of gain reduction). But sometimes the recorded performance itself could have some softer parts that the compressor doesn't always pickup...so instead of automating the threshold, just automate the volume before the compressor.

Mixing this track was definitely a learning experience for me too. Probably the first time I spent a whole day just trying to get the drums to sound right xD

Hey, thanks for your reply.
What I actually meant is that I kinda worked backwards for this mixing. :)

So is today the day?:)

Yes!! It is indeed... results are not posted here... instead I've made a new article with:

• Wrap-Up Video (really cool and worth watching!)

• Results & remixes for the top 3...
