OK, I took Tyrinasoarus file, wich is my first mix with his track raised,  didn't touch his tweaks, removed filter in HervéB's modular, and made some adjustments. I think that Tyrinasoarus's part is way too loud in the end, but if everyone agree, that's not a problem.  IMHO, If everyone take is turn in the mix process and raise the level of its track, the result will surely become a mess. So, I won't make 15 mixes, as suggested by Celebzooz: I'm not afraid by perfection, I know I will never touch it ;-). But everyone can make a remix, that's a collab' project after all. I don't mind if another mix is selected for the final cut.

One suggestion for the next collab, maybe: I remember the collab1, no channel automations till the end, 10 FX slots available, and it worked fine, leaving place for the job. It's not really comfortable to do a mix when nearly all tracks are already automated, and FX slots, except for the master section, are filled, and some automated too. Remember, mixing can't make miracles...

personally i like the idea of the finnal person being able to make a valid contribution by allowing him to at least have control over automation if not more... im sure it wont sit well with everyone,.. but i think its fair to say that these collaborations, while fun, are not musical genius. should we be so attached to our parts that no one can be allowed to touch them?(no offense to all the musical geniuses) but id rather hear a cohesive vision thats kick ass even if my part gets played down, than one that competes to much amoung its individual parts and is a mess.

just my 2 ¢

I agreed with Skarabee, I would even go as far as suggesting no FX allowed until the final mix for the next jam. Skarabee is doing a great job here trying to bring order to this cacophony of sounds we put there for him, having no FX-slots left and a lots of song automation isn't helping him much. Remember theres 14 machines in there and a lot of them are competing in the same frequency range, without FX slots he can't use filters to separate them.

i think that sounds pretty good..but i would allow song automation with the caveat that it can be tweeked by the person doing the final mix....here is my reasoning...lets say you have a long drone or pad that you want to evolve over the course of several measures...you should be able to automate peramiters in song mode to get the effect you want,....but..you should not have the expectation that your exact automation settings are written in stone, at the final mix down there maybe tweeks and adjustments made to tailor the sound...as long as everyone agrees prior to the creation process i see no issues with this...am i wrong?

Hey, to sign up for Round 3, you should put out a nice plug for CR's new album on GPS!   Groovin' tunes, I think would be a good support for a fellow Caustic Warrior.   I hope to have a featured artists spot up on my site soon, and will blab about this too... 

@Skarabee, nice mix, that was a challenge, no doubt......   Ok, so I decided to take a poke at it, and took Skarabee's mix and did some needle pricks here and there..... can you tell what I changed up a bit?   EIPSO 15 Minute Poke... 

I'll revisit my remix of Skara's and see if I caught that, Gharwen...
