Sign ups are now closed. If you missed this round, please join us next time. But there is still plenty to learn:
Please visit the Post It thread (http://womb.mixerman.net/showthread.php?t=4373) to hear the possibly 79 mixes posted from people all around the world. Then join in on the discussions in the following threads:
Drums + Bass (http://womb.mixerman.net/showthread.php?t=4378)
Guitars (http://womb.mixerman.net/showthread.php?t=4379)
Lead + BG Vox (http://womb.mixerman.net/showthread.php?t=4380)
The Big Picture (http://womb.mixerman.net/showthread.php?t=4381) (overall balance, stereo buss processing, automation + misc.)
You may ONLY vote in the poll + post in this thread if you are entering yourself in the MiLaR Event. Thank You.
We are now accepting entries to participate in our first MiLaR Event. Entries will be accepted from Tuesday, August 14, 2007 until Saturday, August 18, 2007 (as long as it is Saturday in your time zone you’re good).
How to enter the MiLaR Event :
1. Read the Mix it Like a Record Event – Info thread (http://womb.mixerman.net/showthread.php?t=4047)
2. Submit a post confirming your entry in this thread.
3. Select the song you would like to Mix by participating in the Poll at the top of this page. (See song list below.)
Only on completion of these 3 steps your entry will be accepted.
What do we expect from you :
1. You take part in phase 2 – Mix It.
2. You take part in phase 3 – Discuss It.
Basically this means that you will download the song (multi track files) that wins this Poll (even if it is not your first choice) – You MIX it and post your Mix and project or session file. You will get 2 weeks to do this. Only during the first week the multi track files will be available for download. During the last 2 days of the ‘Mix It’ phase you will be able to upload your Mix and project or session file to a dedicated thread. We do NOT want your Mix before you see that thread. Even if you finish it earlier. Of course we would very much welcome your input during the ‘Discuss It’ phase. After all that IS what this is all about – Discuss mixing.
A couple of things you need to agree to :
1. You are free to Mix the song any way you see fit using any mixing tools you want. Time correction / Pitch correction / Sample replacements tools are NOT allowed. This is a MIXING event . Look at it this way : You are asked to do a MIX and all tracking / producing / arranging and editing of the song was done for you. All you need to do is MIX it. We want to learn from your mixing skills, not your editing skills.
2. You must agree to the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/)

“Some Rights Reserved”: Building a Layer of Reasonable Copyright
Too often the debate over creative control tends to the extremes. At one pole is a vision of total control — a world in which every last use of a work is regulated and in which “all rights reserved” (and then some) is the norm. At the other end is a vision of anarchy — a world in which creators enjoy a wide range of freedom but are left vulnerable to exploitation. Balance, compromise, and moderation — once the driving forces of a copyright system that valued innovation and protection equally — have become endangered species.
Creative Commons is working to revive them. We use private rights to create public goods: creative works set free for certain uses. Like the free software and open-source movements, our ends are cooperative and community-minded, but our means are voluntary and libertarian. We work to offer creators a best-of-both-worlds way to protect their works while encouraging certain uses of them — to declare “some rights reserved.”
