Hi Tchad and everyone in the MWTM community and leaders! This is an amazing opportunity for us all to have the privilege to submit to you Tchad. You are a legend! So here is a track I engineered and produced from start to finish. It is not yet mixed yet. I was definitely in my Timbaland vibes with how I programed the drums haha. I hope you like it! and good luck to everyone !
I believe this song by my band The Wrong Car would really benefit from Tchad Blakeâs remix. Our songwriting process goes for the most part so that I come up with the basic song structure and Jukka the singer comes up with the lyrics and melody with me occasionally providing lyrics. Iâm also the producer and do the rough mix and sometimes also the final mix & mastering.
Throwing one of my songs in the ring! Best of luck to everyone submitting
I played this song in a seminar and I was always curious to hear the full version of Tchadâs mix on it I wrote, produced and engineered this one between professional studios and my small home studio, trying to tie both approaches of production into mine. I recorded drums in different rooms, my acoustic guitars in front of a glass with the microphone behind me, reamped percussions, did many vocal takes in my bedroom, recorded violins to make them sound like a Mellotron, lots of fun and experiments for a folk pop song. Enjoy!
here is the song âLiebe Fatalâ (English: Love, Fatal) by our Band SIND from Berlin, Germany:
The song started with my my six-year-old son picking up his small kids ukulele and playing a single tone. Within a few minutes we recorded it and the whole song came to live in a two hours, building the entire track around that ukulele. âLiebe fatalâ reflects on how love is âfatalâ not because it destroys us, but because its inevitable end is what makes every shared moment feel so important, urgent and alive.
What began as a spontaneous father-and-son jam session turned into something quite different from our usual sound as a band.
Weâd genuinely love to hear how someone with your perspective would approach this track, not only to âfixâ it, but maybe also to reinterpret it in your way. Weâre curious what you would bring forward, what you would strip away, what you would exaggerate. And how this song would sound and especially feel like afterwards.
Thank you already in advance for listening!
Kind regards from Berlin,
I performed all instruments myself, shaping the arrangement from the ground up. A resonator slide guitar, a sparse but intentional bass line, falsetto lead vocals, and layers of guitars and subtle keys.
It would be an honor to hear Tchadâs perspective on the track and to share the multitracks with the community.
Hi everyone, Pat Vadala here. Iâm a big fan of Tchad and would love to hear his approach to mixing my track âPoison (Redux)â.
âPoison (Redux)â is a song I wrote and produced that blends modern pop and electronic textures with live musicianship. It features some of the leading session players in Los Angeles, and the sound sits somewhere between The Weekndâs âSacrificeâ and a more performance-driven, harmonically rich approach.
What an amazing opportunity! My name is Noel Johnson. i have really enjoyed Tchadâs videos and i love his work with Arctic Monkeys especially. This is my rough mix of a new and unreleased song. I wrote and recorded all the parts myself. been going through a serious alt rock phase lately. Best of luck to everyone. Love from Alabama!
this song âRoam (Light)â is about searching for a feeling of presence and joy I lost somewhere along the way⌠the lightness I used to touch in meditation. The lyrics explore the tension between my restless, aging mortal body and whatever eternal thing might live inside it.
This is the second version of the same song. The first was more rock-driven and once it was done it seemed the theme asked for a different expression. So I kept the chords and the lyrics and started from scratch exploring the song from another perspective with an ambient pulse-driven sound. Iâm a solo singer-songwriter/producer handling everything myself - writing, vocals, all instruments, mixing. That by itself is always challenging: to separate the songwriter from the producer and the producer from the mixer.
My struggle has been keeping the vocal raw and direct while building a transparent atmospheric space the song needs without it all turning into mush. Iâm drawn to Tchadâs work because he uses space and texture to serve emotion, not just create atmosphere for its own sake. Would love to see how heâd approach the dynamics and depth to support the searching/longing at the core of this track.
What a crazy opportunity! Iâm a huge lover of Tschads style. I discovered Tschad the first time with the Keys record âBrothersâ. Everlasting Light have had a huge influence on me. And Iâm sure itâs a lot about the way Tschad managed to make the music speak.
Hereâs my german indie/post-punkish track submission. Drummachine, guitar amps and voice. Everything done by myself except mastering:
Iâm submitting this song from my band for the session.
I would truly love to hear how Tchad Blake would approach and reinterpret this track through his sonic perspective.
I wrote and produced the song, and I handled the recording and mixing between my studio and other recording spaces. The track blends organic instruments with layered textures and detailed arrangements, and I believe it could take on a completely new dimension in Tchadâs hands.
Looking forward to learning from the process. Best of luck to everyone!
This is my song, Passing Place, written, recorded, produced and mixed by myself.
Passing Place was first conceived as an idea back in 2021 on a road trip to Scotland; when I saw a passing place sign and an idea sparked in my head. The actual song was written in 2023 over a week, when I had joined a group to try and encourage each other to write songs quicker. The song then sat around until last year waiting for me to do something with it.
The songs themes explore a conceptual vision of a passing place based around an expired relationship. Whereas a passing place necessitates someone pausing for a moment, giving way and waiting for the other to pass; imagine a relationship where there is no pause and a clash occurs.
I really like the result I achieved from my vision, but Iâd love to see how Tchad would envision the song.
It has been assembled probably like a bunch of people on here, sessions spread across different places against day jobs etc. We have a few writers in the band which is a joy for creativity. We are also trying different textures, and dynamicsâŚwe are all fans of distortion and noise.
This EP I am just working on the mixes at the moment so would be super interesting to have Tchad mix whilst it is so fresh for me and to see what he sees as challenges to what I thought when I was working on it.
Drums and bass on this one were recorded in a local studio here in South London, guitars vocals and overdubs were recorded by me in our rehearsal space or at my house
Here is a track called âHands to myselfâ By Indie Artist Deirdre French.
Iâm Erik and I engineered and Co-produced the song with Deirdre. We recorded the basic tracks in Los Angeles and then the finishing overdubs were done at project studios in Philly and New york. I think itâs a beautiful song that currently is very clean and pretty raw with the exception of some reverbs. The idea with this one was to let the vocal really carry things but it could really benefit from some treatment in the chorus and bridge to add emotion! Myself and Deirdre have always geeked out on Tchadâs use of distortion especially on more vocal forward artists like Sheryl Crow and Fiona Apple. Hereâs a note from the Artist for this MWTW mix webinar opportunity :
âMy process as a songwriter has always been pretty intuitive, but production doesnât come as naturally to me. I can get tripped up about what goes where, when to dive in on sound, and when to pull back. My North Star has always been artists like Sheryl, Fiona, Ani- women who pour their heart out in their lyrics, but arenât afraid of a little grit in their music.
I gravitate towards producers and engineers who love raw sounds and character. From talking with engineers, I learned that a lot of my favorite records had someone in common- Tchad Blake. Damn, I thought, maybe in another life I could work with that guy. â
Ah well, why notâŚ.This is coming from a songwriter perspective, just trying to take a simple acst + vocal track and give it as much depth and interest as possible with this one.
Be amazing to see what someone like Tchad could do with it.
