Mixing Practice?

[MockingQuantum]

Hello OCRers, what do you all recommend for getting some practice mixing tracks? I'd really like to get some practice in on just mixing and refining tracks that I otherwise haven't worked on. Is there any resource out there where people post stems or tracks for this purpose?

I could make up one mixing practice set of stems sometime later. I'll have it cover mixing bass and midrange, mostly, in a clean stereo field (mixing treble rigorously is kind of a "do I really need to go that far" type of deal in my opinion).

I'm making a new one because I want it to be simple, no overarching context that comes with mixing a full song.

Brandon Strader also posted some practice stems [thread=44793]here[/thread].

Wow, thank you both for the quick response.

And Brandon, for the linked stems, just in case he happens to wander into this thread.

www.duelingmixes.com has a monthly release of songs in various styles. There's a subscription, like $27 a month or something, but it's always some good practice.

Wow, how did I not find this when searching? Thanks Neblix! Also, I've very nearly bought that book multiple times.

@timaeus, thanks so much for that, I'm looking forward to giving it a spin when I have some time!

Have you ever been on the https://indabamusic.com site?

They have different kinds of contests on there... both mixing, remixing and original compositions.

I have only entered a couple of mix contests, but I have mixed a lot of them for practice.

btw Neblix .. thanx for the Cambridgesite link!! ... can´t believe I haven`t stumbled upon that one..
