As some of you already know, the judges have now delivered their verdicts! All the winners and 'honorable mentions' can be found on my newly-minted archive page:
The 'Colour Me Red' Mix Contest (archive page)
The page includes full details of the original competition brief, with downloadable raw multitrack files (in case you also fancy trying your hand at a mix); all the first-draft mixes submitted to me for feedback (28 in total); my written critiques for all of those mixes (about 15,000 words in all), with links to any further related discussion; all the final contest mix submissions; and the artist's winner verdicts and general feedback. I've also just heard from Dangerous that he's willing to contribute the full Reaper project for his winning mix, so I'll be adding that as a download too in due course -- it should be particularly interesting because he says he used mostly bundled/freeware plug-ins.
Thanks again to everyone for getting involved and helping me create this great learning resource!
