    @djabthrash Yeah, I really should’ve known better. Hindsight is always 20:20 as they say haha.

    @djabthrash I did a bit of A/B-ing, though admittedly not as much as I’d usually do just because I was in such a rush. The mistakes keep piling up haha.

    That said, every time I bypassed DearVR Monitor I’d be questioning my sanity, but I just gave it benefit of the doubt haha. When I get chance, I’m going to check my mix on my dad’s old hifi (Old 70s Pioneer thing with really big speakers that sound killer), and A/B reality with what said plugin thinks reality will produce.

    I’m thinking I’ll actually completely remix this, how I normally work, over the weekend if I’ve got time…

    In the interest of science and learning. Here’s a headphone version of my mix. So this is what I was hearing while mixing, as for the first time ever, I used DearVR Monitor in Reaper’ Monitor FX bus to see what my mix supposedly translated to in a physical environment. This version is identical to my submitted mix, only I’ve moved DearVR Monitor to the end of my mixbus to print everything through it.

    If you’d be so kind to compare the two versions over real monitors, if possible, that’d be a big help for me. I was dubious about the virtues of these virtual “mix room” plugins, so haven’t really used any in anger before. However, it may turn out that as a mixing effect, it’s a good balancer? Who knows.


    @Serge     I wish I still had my projects for my previous entries, they’d make some interesting studying. I hated my “Clockwork” mix, but entered it anyway at the time. My “Chelsea” mix was actually not that bad from memory. It’s a good point though, people should go back over previous entries every so often. I’m definitely planning on remixing this track in the near future.

    Great stuff @Serge
    That bass tone is really good, almost perfect.

    I did leave a reply earlier, but for some reason it’s vanished or didn’t get through.

    Good mix right there @djabthrash
    I’d be happy with that. Only thing I might do would be bring the main vocals up a tiny amount (nowhere near the amount in my mix though haha). But yeah, overall it sounds nicely rounded.

    @Serge Thanks for the feedback.

    I hold my hands up for it being unfinished and vocals sitting proud. Mistakes are good, we learn from mistakes. I’ll take your feedback on board, cheers.

    @djabthrash Thanks for the feedback.
    Yeah, definitely. If I was limited to changing just one thing of my mix, it’d be to bring the vocals down a bit. I noticed myself when I listened back the following day from submitting it.

    A fine choice. I went with the BX SSL 4000E version myself… but may have turned on the G dynamics section a couple of times haha.
