Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - pmilani - 05-01-2019 [UPDATE] CONTEST ENTRY is the 3rd version, below, named HannesKeseberg_YouKnowBetter-mix3-master.m4a Hey, here is my version. Didn't deviate too much from the original tracks. Happy mixing to everyone. RE: Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - Mixinthecloud - 06-01-2019 Interesting ideas and well presented. Nice job. RE: Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - Mike Senior - 16-01-2019 Hi pmilani! Wow -- this is certainly a bold vision! Initially I have to say I was reeling a little, because it's a very different perspective, and not what I'd expect in terms of the contest brief and references. That said, the more I've listened to it, the more it's won me over with its own logic, and I have to say this could now be my favourite mix so far. The balancing is generally great, there's bags of character and detail in the sounds and effects, the snare is meaty, the kick and bass are tight and extended, there's good width, mono-compatibility, small-speaker translation, and sensible spectral balance... In short, it's a really cool mix, whether or not it's exactly the one Hannes might have been looking for! All that said, there were a few minor queries I had:
Overall, though, this is first-class work. There's just something very musical about this mix, and it's a great example of taking the multitracks in an unexpected direction that's nonetheless compelling. Bravo sir! RE: Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - pmilani - 19-01-2019 @Mike wow thanks man! That's a great analysis and very valid feedback. I can relate to pretty much everything you observed. Based on this input I felt inspired to open up the project again and have even more fun! I've done a review of my mix, I kinda started with noticing some things I wanted to address and first worked on that but I ended up retouching loads of little things. RE: Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - jeffd42 - 20-01-2019 There's some interesting stuff happening in this mix, but, I what couldn't quite get past was the vocal distortion and reverb hard panned echo on the right. It sort of sounded like being shouted at from a guardpost while escaping from prison .... or something :-) Perhaps dialed back a bit and centered might work better? RE: Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - pmilani - 20-01-2019 Hey @jeffd42, thanks for listening! Did you mix this as well? Funny thing, even before touching any fader I started from the get go with this idea that I had to make the vocal like that, and immediately I got hooked into hearing it this way. I could never like my mix if I changed vocals to a traditional approach. About the delay effect, after your comment I listened again but I don't find it unbalanced in a disturbing or distracting way. Actually it is really going on both sides, they just have different parameters: you can clearly hear it in the breakdown were I made the effect even more obvious.

That's a great analysis and very valid feedback. I can relate to pretty much everything you observed. The only thing which is bothering me with this is the attention the timbale and conga are drawing away from the essence of the song. They've become too prominent and draw focus away from the vocal and the primary rhythm to the detriment of the song and arrangement, I'm afraid. IMHO, the movement of these percussion instruments should be a counter-punctual undelayment to add movement to the stoic rhythm of the song and thereby add interest. RE: Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - pmilani - 24-01-2019 I kinda started to reason on your feeback @Mixinthecloud. I don't know if I interpreted it the right way, but sure enough I felt like I wanted to change some stuff.... sooo, another version is here. Realllly hope it's the last one Thanks.

Realllly hope it's the last one Again, some great ideas and generally very well balanced. A couple of minor technical things which poked at me. There is a count off at the beginning of your mix which I think should be muted and there is some sibilance on the lead vocal. Besides that, an excellent mix. RE: Hannes Keseberg 'You Know Better' - Patrons Mixing Contest - jeffd42 - 02-02-2019 Balance is good. Only comment would be on the long delays ... those certainly sit well with the vibe you have going, but you may want to pull them slightly ahead of the beat, as otherwise they make the song drag a little in places.
