Attempting to mix those and falling short has been and will continue to be some of the most important mixing lessons I've ever been given...
For one, knowing when something is un-mixable is important! Or else you'll waste precious time trying to "fix it in the mix" when you'd be better off getting busy re-tracking. For two... if you attempt the impossible and learn how to get close... well, it goes without saying that better mix situations will be a lot easier and more pleasurable
Thanks for your feedback, Pauli! (are you german?)
I've actually used all tracks you got provided here. My personal opinion was that some tracks were... redundant, but the band wanted to keep them all in and they were with me almost during the whole mixing process.
I have to admit that I had a better chance to get a good mix because I was more flexible, regarding that I had the toms and kick as midi-data (we triggered them) and I could use any samples I wanted to. You're using Superior Drummer 2 samples in the tracks provided here.
I'll wait about two more weeks for you guys to vote in the poll so I can be sure it's worth it.
Cheers,
