Hi Harry Thanks for listening and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's nice to know the mix is clean. It's sad though that even non-mainstream genres such as prog have fallen victim to the loudness war -- I don't know who such bands, on what radio stations, they think they are going to be competing with the ultrasquashed, more commercial bands. I like to get my own pieces somewhere in the vague region of professional CDs, but I'm not going to push the level too far; I like my distortion in small doses, not on everything all the time. If I need it louder I have a knob for that only two inches from my mouse! It sounds like I might be getting there with the brass -- I don't feel it does want to bring attention to itself, more be one of those things that you would notice by its absence. But to achieve that, first it needs to be audible! So I'm obviously moving in the right direction. I really must put it down for a couple of weeks and come back with fresher ears. Thanks again for listening. Q Harry Van Haaren wrote:
