Mixing Help

Hello fellow live users

I have a very special type of request. I am really interested in getting into mix engineering as well as getting my own productions to sound cleaner. I was wondering if there were any of you out there that would send me stems of some of your tracks so i could try my hand at mixing them. Yes this is a really strange request, and i'm not trying to step on anybody's toes, and especially not trying to steal from anyone. It would be very helpful, as i could get more practice than with mixing my own tracks. If anybody is interested it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a Bunch

MidKnight

Why not just get stems from the 1000+ remix contests that you can find on the net?

those stems are usually mixed perfectly. well they should be anyways. If there are any imperfect ones let me know. thanks

Look into mixoff.org - thats all about sharing raw tracks and comparing your mixes with the others.

Stumbled upon it on gearsluts recently.

i've got something that i was having trouble mixing and paid someone else to, but i'm not happy with their mix either. i could send you the stems when i get home (provided i remember). you may do with them what you will.

on a related note, i just picked up a great book on mixing- "Zen and the Art of Mixing" by mixerman. good stuff so far...

1- Go to FocalPress you can find the best books on audio, many with DVDs and audio.

2- A mag like Computer Music will also be very helpful and brings nice loops to play with.

3- On aside note if you are creative with the remix for the contest, they will need good mixing skills too, plus some bring midi files.

4- On the subject of Midi files, there is loads of free one on the internet,load one in ableton and assign a "similar" instrument/VST, it will soon be a mess, but that will be a great mixing exercise.

Hope it is helpful.
