The Delta 1010 is so silent that it has not worried me much (normalizing later). :-) I hope that Creative Commons licenses become very standard, widespread and well-used. I was so tired by the time I recorded the piano that I actually played the piano the sloppiest. :-) The percussion is loose--like you say, probably *too* loose, but I just wanted it not to sound too mechanical, because after all, it's just my fingers playing a piano keyboard with a percussion kit making the sounds. The bongo is a little loud. I was influenced by a recording I just got of Ahmad Jamal (piano, with drummer, bass player and guitarist). The guitarist I believe played the bongos on some of the pieces and I really liked it, so of course I overdid it. :-) It's a work in progress. Thank you very much Thorsten for your comments. I'll try to whip the percussion track into shape (and be more awake for the piano part after a good night's sleep--it's 3:00 a.m. where I live in New Mexico US). -sd -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Forget and forgive.
