Re: Mix this: Arrangement/Mixing/Production competition: [When The Sun Grows Cold]

We have put together a really interesting competition for any one who fancies not only mixing but pretty much producing a track for radio. Chris Ford’s current single When The Sun Grows Cold is currently play listed on commercial radio and BBC radio around the UK. The track in its present form is an acoustic song, but we have decided to offer the opportunity for anyone to put together an arrangement and mix of the track. As the song is an acoustic guitar and vocal track you can do almost anything with it. You could add strings, add bass, mix some beats with it, lay down some guitars, be that electric or acoustic or both or even add backing vocals. Pretty much anything. You could even take it in an electronica direction by simply striping the acoustic guitar out and using the vocal line. The possibilities are endless. We did think about splitting the vocal and acoustic tracks, some people prefer that, even at this stage, but initially we are looking for the concept or approach to the track rather than the definitive mix. Once we have the submissions and we have settled on the best approach we will send the original mastered WAV files over to you of the vocal and acoustic guitar so people can create the final mix. We are looking for 3 final arrangements and mixes of the track which we will then put together on CD/Vinyl and download along with the original acoustic version of the song. For the winning arrangements/mixes we are offering the following: 5% of all retail revenue, be that CD/Vinyl or downloads flowing from the track they arrange and mix, plus 10% of the PRS and music publishing income of that version of the song. It is the first time to our knowledge that a mix competition has ever offered a proportion of the music publishing and PRS on a track, but we want people to be properly rewarded for their efforts. If you have any questions or need any help putting things together just get in touch. To get started go to any of the following. It doesn’t matter which site you go to as we refund you anyway. On some of these sites it is a matter of a few pence.

and down load the song. [We will refund you the cost of the download upon submission of your track]. When you have completed the arrangement/mix idea send an MP3 of the track to info@track37recordings.co.uk. Please make sure we have your correct contact details. The release date for this project is June 30th so if you can send us your finished tracks by June 16th that would be great.
