Contest Brief

The song is very precious to me I've tried several times to find a good engineer to makeup it
but sometimes it was overly unnatural, sometimes it was under tuned, I just seek the person with the perfect musical vision, I'd like to build the partnership for the future projects, cause I have lots of ideas.

This contest is mostly for the pop-rock genre, but if you are a generalist it will work too.

Here s a link to resources for the song:

Here's a link for dirty/uncleaned mix of a song to get an overall idea before downloading the stems:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w85eoB-FxNQRk2EqrGP3e0Q5T_o0R-Ul/view?usp=sharing

Important notes:

**1**
I want the moment starting at 4:06 (the female part where she sings "I FLY"), and the same part on the last chorus to be KEY parts of the song, the pearl, the culmination, I want to feel the blow and increase in overall energy on the start of this parts, any way you can think off to make this part shine. (timing refers to the dirty mix I've provided)

Everything should lead and anticipate this part of the song, and then the release should occur, the revelation, the blow, the culmination.
--

**2**
Male vocal is clearly to be tuned on the choruses.
--

**3**
The male vocal can make several new takes/samples if required.
---

Hope to see some decent works here, thank you!

    Better to download the file, as the player of google is compressing the whole of the file even more.

    I can think of something like The White Stripes
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4dx42YzQCE
    The problem is your song doesn't have a strength elements as these drums. Maybe we could fix it with samples or recordings of percussions.

      I noticed that too, it needs the punch of drums and some deliberate reduction in distortion here and there. So many elements to handle

      I think is handable, I heard a lot of musicians out of time in my career, that is difficult to correct, but those stems can be perfectly improved.

    Hi, I'm working on the song. I have organized the whole proyect and edited the audio, but I was thinking about adding some acoustic drums to get more punch and an organic layer on the percussive side of the mix. What do you think about it?

    One question, does the guitar sample have to be included in the track? I'm kinda confused, because the timing is different between sample guitar with dry guitar. And there's the different version of version 1 and 2, which one should be added to the track?

    Hello! This is quite an interesting project, I'm working on it right now.
    It needs a med-heavy repair in the male vox, guitars and bass, also the drum set is lacking in strength, but I'm working on it.
    I'll submit maybe a 1-1.5 mins sample, and if you think something needs to be changed, I can work based on that. Thanks! Have a nice day!

    Hello how are you doing?
    I was listening to the song "No one really know", and I really congratulate you, I really liked it. Although I agree that it could sound a lot better. I am a composer, mixing and recording engineer, with over 16 years of experience, and I am completely confident that I will be able to make this song sound like it deserves it. The mix is ​​lacking a lot of information in the low frequencies, and is very unbalanced in general. I could fix all those problems.
    I hope you write me soon! I'm ready to start working.


    PS: I'm a drummer and sound engineer for "La Patrulla Espacial" and we have a lot to do musically: listen to a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82f5yC7cJ9g&ab_channel=LaPatrullaEspacial

    Of Course, takes will not get better, but the quality of the takes is ok for me, and with the decent timing/pitching they will work for me, and that's enough, if you are not ready to put some decent work into it, don't apply, please.

    Regarding the vocals:

    Both vocals should be retained in the song in the places they are now, maybe sligly shifted to fit together.

    1) They should be tuned
    2) They should be EQed to fit each other well
    3) They possible needs some parallel saturation/wideness
    4) They should be aligned in time with each othe to get that groovy feel
    5) Cleaned of unwanted noises in the entire spectrum

    Yes, it's a hard project, it's not enough to get some presets and apply.

    Other comments:
    1) The drums are overbearing in some cases, even with wrong timing somewhere, I expect the sound engeneer to hear it.
    2) In some entries the "Pan" is to wide to keep things focused.
    Sincerely I expect the person who does mastering/mixing be a profy.

    Thank you Guys, For female vocals I'd like to hear the slightest details of her performance, she has these cute vocal endings , so it should be compressed or manually automated to bring it up the volume. The reference for song is hard to find, but it should be rock n rolly and punchy.
