Hi friends, I’m amazed on a daily basis by the level of talent and creativity you all bring to this community and It’s time to share it with the world!
We’re hosting a new mixing contest where you can show off your talent and win a ton of marvelous gear, software, music production courses & best of all if we choose your mix YOU will be labeled as the mixer of the song on the Official Remix Winners’ EP release!
We’re going to be recording, mixing, and producing a brand new song with our good friend David of The Workday Release!
ALL OF YOU are going to be involved in the whole process! – YOU get to mix it along with us!
This contest is brought to you in collaboration with In The Mix, a superb educational Youtube channel, which shows you the intricacies of electronic music production, mixing and mastering. If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend you check it out!
We also built a BRAND NEW website called RateMyMix where you can submit your mix, listen to other submissions, and give positive feedback!
Today we’re going to record some acoustics, vocals, and guitar, the rest of it is going to be done from two almost completely opposite parts of the world!
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be releasing more multitracks, we’re going to build it up with different synth and drum parts!
