To celebrate (and low-key force you guys to use, and therefore see that I'm correct) my new Ableton Template, I'm doing a bit of a contest...

Here I am uploading a version of my No Idea Remix Project file.  However, this one has been unmixed and unmastered... and unorganized.  The purpose of this is to give you guys a chance to practice using the 2022 Ableton Template with song parts that are capable of making up a full track.  The project is already imported into the new template (the groups are located in the Sub-Master group at the top) so you can begin organizing, titling, and mixing right away.  This will really help you get the hang of the new template, as well as hone your mixing and mastering skills, without needing to create a song's content in order to be able to do so.  

The contest part is as follows: 

Whoever creates the best mix and master - while organizing and utilizing the new template as intended - will win a free 1hr tutoring session with me.  Further, if by chance your mix and master is better than the one I did for the actual remix (this shouldn't be that hard.. this was probably my worst mix and master job of last year) I will update the SoundCloud file with your version, post about it, and credit you for the job you did on all my socials.  

My guess is out of all of you that will see this, only 10 will actually try.  So you have a high chance of winning!  This is definitely a lot to tackle, but from a learning perspective, it can be extremely helpful to your skillsets.  Think of this as a coloring book.  Everything is in place for you, its up to you to really paint the picture.  The things I would have done for a project file like this back when I was trying to learn this shit lol.  

You can download the folder for the project file here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n2fv4n4buf1o7jg/AAB4I6FaZnlIy0-QfDUNliuja?dl=0

I'll accept submissions all the way up until March!  You can PM me them on here.  Happy mixing, mastering and organizing!  

Original master for reference: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c4fwcvqrfq0z3nw/Don%20Toliver%20-%20No%20Idea%20%28Re-Crank%20Master%201%29.wav?dl=0

Right on. A couple questions: 1) Are we restricted to only using the same plugs that are in the current mastering mastering chain? 2) Do you want us to PM you a zipped project file or would you prefer a private SC link?

great qs - mastering chain is open season, use whatever you'd like. further, a soundcloud link with DL enabled will suffice, and you can send it with a screenshot of your project file proving you organized properly!

Could we get the original mp3 for your remix by any chance to use as a reference? No worries if not, I couldn't find it on SC
