the RAR is uploading now. it's 217 meg, and it will be up in about 64 minutes from now.
24 bit 48k wav files. i included the samples i used and all the edits.
you have any choice of three options on this one.
1. mix the song how you want to (which means you will not listen to my mix at all)
2. match my mix
3. beat my mix
give it a bit to upload, then grab it and begin. you have one week. next monday it's submission time.
ENJOY!!!!!
(i will be away from a computer most of today, if there are RAR problems some one will need to call me)
Are you going to send your mix to the people who want to listen to it? How do you know someone isn't hearing it for ideas?Jason Thompson www.4141studios.com

first off, if you "beat" my mix, i'll be stoked.
secondly, my mix is included in the RAR. i'll think i'll have a pretty good idea if some one submits to the "DIY" submission and has ripped my mix off.
trust me, it's not hard to pick out a copy cat in something like this.j.hall Theta Rhythm

A little darker than I'm used to from you, but really really great work.

my mix is dark intentionally. i wanted the top end to get sculpted in mastering. i'll post the master later so you can hear how it developed.j.hall Theta Rhythm

J. i know you use a compressor on the master fader. and this time i will use that approach to match your mix. can you explain i little more about this. i ask because this seems akward to me, settinp up a compressor at the very beginning without having mixed the song.

i'm struggling with telling you how to do this as you are trying to copy my mix and this is giving you at least one key to the building.
i will tell you this about general setup. pick you attack and release time and set you threshold to 0 or something that seems appropriate to your typical operating.
as the mix develops you will need to continue adjusting the threshold to keep the comp from getting to out of control.
i'm not going to pass out specific settings.j.hall Theta Rhythm
