Ello, ello ..
I recognize, I’m notorious for egging the WUMP community into action.
Also, an auspicious kick start to the new forums here at PSW!
Our gracious host Brad is always very welcoming, and our organizer ATOR, will do the needful, and heed our call, as always, if not too busy.
Hoping for some RAP, this time around.

Things have been kinda crazy lately, but yah, we probably should kick off another WUMP. ATOR has informed me that due to various personal reasons he is no longer working in the industry, so I suppose I'll manage this next one (and see if I can do so without dropping the ball, so to speak).
Anyone have a track we can use that they'd like to submit to be mastered?
-
I have a difficult one if everyone is keen - its quite a different form of music and the artist has said it would be fine to be mastered - it is Chip Tunes Music. If you are keen let me know.
-
Sorry about the lack of knowledge, but, what’s a “Chip Tunes Music” !?
I have several tunes, available and ready to go, as I am always working on stuff. Ofcourse, I leave to consensus, if one wants me to submit any etc..
Glad to have you steering us there Brad.

I think it is music recorded and produced 8 bit.

Sorry to hear about Ator. Hope everything is well, as it is hard to imagine not being able to work in the field of music.
-
this particular artist creates all his music on gameboys :D in 8 bit. the gameboy processor is actually 4bit but you get the idea. It was a project that made me earn my money thats for sure :D
-
While I'm sure the GameBoy music mastering was challenging, not sure that it really translates very well nor does a very good job of challenging folks with common issues that we can each try to solve then explain how and why we did so in that particular manner.
That said, if everyone wants to do it, that's fine.
Any other ideas?
-
Something with some low sub bass might be challenging. Or all acoustic like bluegrass/folk.
-
i have a cool, kinda crazy rock tune we could use.
-
Go ahead .. tell us.

I'm in for a WUMP if you still accept me. I think I didn't review the entries in one of the rounds.
-
Go ahead .. tell us.
was this to me? i just wrote the band to ask if it's cool to use their song. will let you know.
-
Ahh .. good.
Keep the group posted, Brad may have plans in the pipeline shortly.

KAyo

Great news. Thanks!
-
it's fine with the band. i can put the mix up on my site or at brad's...someone tell me what to do.
the tune is a fast, kinda bonkers rocker. guitar/synth/bass/drums/vox. tracked to 2" at a posh studio by a good engineer. mixed ITB by me. i had a ball mixing it, it ought to be pretty fun to master.
-
i would like to be included in this "wump", once set in motion. i've read back into the previous ones and i already know what's expected as a participant. looking forward to it.
i have nothing to contribute as far as a mix, but i'm up for anything.
-
Yup please lnvolve me in the next wump, first time I have posted on this new forum as things have been so hetic over the last 6 months.
-
I'll be in on this WUMP too if I may,
Pete G

Count me in.

Hello new forum! Would love to join too.
Cheers,

Great, a WUMP with only Newbie's!
I'd like to join this one.
bests,
Bastiaan

Ahhh! Yes… 8)
Good to see some new avatars and some old..
I was intrigued reading the bx_Brainworx plug-in approaches, and thought, hmmm.. maybe we should have a WUMP, using only plug-ins.
We’ve spoken of this before, and did not come to fruition.
Will chat with Brad, shortly.
Let’s have some consensus in the meantime, people.

Kayo,
I'm fine with the rock track if that's what you mean by concensus.
I would work entirely ITB anyway, so I will defer to the ones who use outboard gear to express opinions on that.
Looking forward to another round of WUMP.

im in!

Hello All,
Won’t be long , before we kick of the very first WUMP on the new PSW forum!

I've only worked in the box on these and seem to be in there with the hardware folks, plus than you could say "we can only use plugins under a certain price", where do you cut it off, I'm not saying it wouldn't be intresting but I don't think it will give anyone more of an advantage than before, as skill is skill.
-
I am not fully clear on what is this Wump.?
But I think I am in!
-
i forget if i replied, but i'm in this go around!
- nick
-
Oh Yeah... I'm in
-
i'm only joining if we're not doing an itb only wump. that's like giving a mechanic a whole set of new and different tools to fix the same car. call me a wimp, but i'm not going to change my workflow for a wump ;)
-
yeah i'm not too into the itb only idea. people should be able to use what they have.
-
It’s was only an initial dileberation, that’s all. Not the set path for the Wump at hand. Glad to have the consensus and oppinions aired here.
Brad’s about to update me on a few things, and kick of from there onwards.
Keep the gang posted.

The song to be picked shortly, and download upload details will be PM'ed to all entrants.

Group line-ups: 21/06/2011
Download/Upload Info to be, Private messaged to all entrants: 21/06/2011.
Deadline for Mastered submissions: 30/06/2011
The rules of this traditional mastering jam-up on the Brad/PSW forum, are best explained by our mastering comrade, ATOR.
General info:
-------------------------
WUMP is a project where different engineers master the same mix, comment each other’s work and share what they did and why they did it.
The purpose of the WUMP is to demystify mastering and help each other become better engineers.
Participating in the WUMP means that you:
- make the best master you can in ten days time
- upload your master the last day of the deadline, not before, to the WUMP FTP folder
- download and comment on the other masters of your group
- post what you did to the mix
- discuss the outcome
There will be no revisions.
The WUMP FTP info will be sent to you in a PM.
You’ll need an FTP client to up-/download the files. Here are some freeware versions:
PC: Filezilla
Mac: Cyberduck
Format master:
- 16bit 44.1kHz WAV
- name: WUMPXX-yourname.wav (XX is the WUMP number)
To keep things simple and transparent we go with named files. If you feel that knowing the names will compromise your judgment you could find a way to listen blind.

Thanks ATOR
Keep you all posted, until kick off..
