Greetings!

And so we begin another episode of the (unofficial) Presonus Studio One Forum Group Mix!

This time we have a selection submitted by one of our very own! A talented hip hip artist that we all know as "Crow" has agreed to submit one of his multitrack projects which can be downloaded here:

"Come Back" by Crow

As a bit of a departure from some of our past group mixes we will be focusing on this hip-hop piece in order to keep our multi-genre mixing chops familiar with as many styles as possible.

Please download the multitrack project and make your best effort at mixing the song. Submit your mixes to this thread using a song hosting service like dropbox, box.net or preferably Soundcloud and I will collect the complete mixes in the first post as before.

In one week and a few days I will conduct a Livestream show where I will discuss the various aspects of the song, take comments, questions and discuss different techniques that we've used to address this particular mix! I welcome all who submit a mix to attend, and I will also welcome anyone who just wants to sit in and listen/take part in the discussion.

I look forward to seeing what we come up with, and I'm sure Crow is eagerly awaiting the mixes as well!

Here's a quick headphone mix.

EDIT: Here is the soundcloud link with lower bitrate than the download version: http://snd.sc/IploCt

Enjoy!

GONNA START ON IT LATER

I'm puttin' some time in on this one.

Can I change bpm?

I got started with this today and will probably return to it a few times per day for a few days before I'm done.

I have to say that I'm impressed with the quality of the source material. When I gave it a quick listen while/after setting the levels, I didn't really have anything jump out at me and make me go "oh, I'll need to fix this".

Heres a quick mix

Great! I'll update the thread with the links in the first post, that way we can keep track of who's done what with the mix. Also I've asked Crow if he'd like to answer some of the questions folks have asked and maybe see if he can give us some reference tracks for what kind of sound he likes. I would suggest we try and treat this like a mix that we might do for a client. Since we've got him right here we can (hopefully) have him give input on what he likes and wants.

Good work so far.

I'm planning on letting the thread run for a week (maybe more?) and then we'll do another Livestream and discuss the mix.

Looking forward to hearing more!
