Lockdown Mix and Master challenge

poopot

Rights folks....

This time you get to mix and master the track aimed at a specific end user...

"Karen" is the lucky recipient of your hard work...

Karen likes nothing more than to dance around to "Uncle" as and when the mood takes her.

When Karen is not keeping up to date with the worlds current affairs via Facebook and Twitter, she plays her music via a streaming service and listens to her fav choons on earbuds or a bluetooth sound bar.


The track in question is "Bring DaFunk" an original track from our very own Uncle Slippyfist:

If you want to join the fun, send me a DM and I will provide you with a link to the raw tracks.

Send your submissions to mix@thefretboard.co.uk as an mp3.

Voting will start soon after the submission deadline of friday 3rd July 2020 with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.

First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point

Voting will end on 11.30pm 10th July 2020

The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.  

No prizes. It's just for fun.

I'll give it a go. My previous uncle track was pretty poor so I'll see if I can improve on it.

Will see how I go for time ... I've suddenly got a load of original ideas I need to get down first.

This is a fun one. Not my usual genre but it’s very well recorded!

Deadline this weekend folks...

Anyone done one?

oaf

Yes and I've even tried to master to approximately -14 dB integrated LUFS, streaming style!

I will send my entry soon, my first proper use of Ableton, so I've had a bit of fun with it.
