HOUSE/PRODUCER’S PICK

 

My top picks were…

 

#1 scottfitz – I liked how natural this mix was!  Felt the most “indie” to me and the least like a “mix”.  Was maybe a hair dark but I didn’t mind that.

#2 tthorpe – great job!  Just super solid to my ear!

#3 TomImmon – an understandable 1st place popular vote mix…superb in so many way!

 

Thanks so much folks, here’s to more mix fun in the new year!

MIX CONTEST # 1

 

I recently co-wrote this song (with my buddies Andrew Johnston and Marcel Anicic) hoping it would get featured in an independent film that needed a song with very specific set of parameters in order to fit the scene it was needed for – and so “Stolen Nights” was born.   It’s been a while since I’ve written something sorta indie-rock-ish, and it was really fun! We decided to ask one of my new mix clients, an artist named Michael Cooper Lee, if he would sing it and he did a great job.   We’re still waiting to see if the song will get placed in this film, but even if it doesn’t it was a very rewarding song to work on – and now you all get to try mixing it!  Go!

JUNE 2025: “NOBODY’S GETTIN OUTA HERE ALIVE”

MIX CONTEST 1   It doesn’t get much more fun and rockin’ than this tune from artist Shane Martin (co-written by Kenny Royster).  Blazing guitars, peppy drums, and a commanding vocal delivery that is tough, yet somehow light on it’s feet too.  Have fun digging into this superb Nashville production!   Song Info:   Bpm:…
