Best Home Recording Contest (Any Genre)

[Umbra]

Not sure if this is appropriate or not ...

Just keep in mind that many of us on this site are engineers ourselves, and are likely not looking for others to mix our music projects.

Maybe there are some that would be interested though.

Good luck.

Maybe best posted on a musician forum. Half the fun of owning a studio is recording and mixing my own material on those inevitable down days. Though it could be interesting hearing some mixes by other people and seeing/hearing their take on my raw files and how they'd balance the mix. Which instruments they,d push forward etc.

Interesting idea. Good luck friend

I agree with these guys.You're not likely to get many takers on a forum where people are here to learn more about mixing their own music...

Maybe try Harmony Central (I haven't been to a musicians forum in years) or something along those lines. Even then, you'll most likely find that many of those people will be mixing themselves too.

You're probably better off posting something in your local Craigslist - I see it here all the time: "will mix your tracks for free" by guys fresh out of recording school etc.

Hi Sam.

I'd like to take part.

I'm currently producing a male vocalist, pop stuff, and it would be great to send you a song or two. If you choose one of his songs, perhaps after the contest you could be our go-to online mixer. Currently looking for one through trials.

I have been mixing records for about 5 years. I have done a few full records and EPs, but mostly I've done low budget singles. I'm looking for some new fresh material to work with to improve my portfolio. And since a mix is only as good as the recording technique used on the project, I have decided to hold a contest here on Gearslutz where I will offer free mixing to the best (or perhaps the several best) songs I receive in response to this thread. This is a win-win as I will get some new portfolio material and you will get a song mixed for free.
