Re: [LAU] Some new music made (mostly) with Linux -- comments on mix?

Hello Ken! I just listened to both songs. all in all I can say I like them. Nice the way the Clav is used in "Ginseng". The things I noted down, but this is mostly personal preference only. The sax in Foie gets too quite after its solo. A bit more volume wouldn't hurt I think. This way it really sounds faded-out a blittle. Where as less fading, would just sound like stepping back from the mic. I think the ride in both recordings is too quiet. You can hear the hitting OK, but the swinging of the metal is too low for my taste. I have the feeling, that the kit is sampled or badly mixed. I guess, I would have used a compressor set to RMS with a short attack and long (600-800ms) release, to be able to crank it up a bit ad make it sound a bit more substantial. Nothing wrong with the bass here. Maybe even quieter than I expected it to be. But it sounds really nice and smooth to me, listeneing on my monitors. No high-end equipment, but very OK. Besides that, they're lovely songs. I like my bit of funky every now and again. :-) Kindly yorus Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de
