I agree with everything that everybody has said so
far. I also think
that if possible, the lower notes of the piano could be improved in
quality. They sound very grainy in my opinion, and even in electronic
music, I like to hear a piano sound that is clear, and doesn't sound it
has gone through some bad analog processing. :)
Luke, did you know that he uses Cheesetracker for this stuff?
Personally I'm a little surprised that he gets such a good sound
out of a tracker. I think this is down to a couple of reasons:
0) Cheesetracker must be better than most trackers in terms of
sound quality.
1) The quality of James' compositions fools me into ignoring the
audio quality.
2) His use atmospheres and sweeping sound effects hides some of
the graininess.
3) Careful choice of samples which don't contain too many high
frequency components.
4) I'm listening to this stuff on a crappy set of headphones
hanging off my laptop.
BTW. What are you using for the bass sound?
Its quite possibly a sine wave :-).
