"Xbert Drum Kit 9 v1.0" for kick and snare "nskit6 fullkit" for hihat "nskit6 crashandsplash" for cymbals Slightly reverberated. So, the effect tweaking I thought I had done was actually not so. And the nskit6 samples are very high quality. /Robert -- http://spamatica.se/musicsite/

Checking with JAPA, there's certainly no excess energy in the 250 to 400 Hz range. The bass in "I gotta..." is between 80 and 160 Hz (and in the 'one note song' it's actually one those two frequencies all the time :-) But I missed some HF energy, there's a sharp drop-off above 3.5 kHz. -- FA Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa.

Robert Jonsson wrote: When I listened to Bloodsimple and ddb3, I heard what sounded like overkill at about 140-160Hz. Jaaa shows it peaking the highest out of everything. Of course, this isn't too bad, but it overpowers everything else. Other than that, you may want to bring the guitar solo out some in ddb3, but that's my preference. Once you have the tracks balanced out right, you may want to export the files as flac, or go wav--->flac. This way you can make EQ and other edits to the full song, if needed and not worry about quality loss. Hope this helps -Chris

I think Is the honesty and "actitude" where this "thin line" becomes "fat" . I'm thinking in people like Ornette ,Miles ,Coltrane ,Herbie Hancock or many others that touch this "thin line" in any time of his career . Thanks for your music and also for that greate tool called MusE :-) Saludos. -- Carlos .

Hi Hartmut and everybody, On Friday 15 September 2006 00:13, Hartmut Noack wrote: gosh <...> Oh, thank you :) I didn't really anticipate this song being so popular. That and all the good feedback (thanks guys!) about mixing inspired me to try and remaster some of the tunes. ... still trying to decide myself if I managed to improve... For those interested some updated songs: http://spamatica.se/music/spamatica/default/spamatica_-_i_gotta_hand_it_to_… http://spamatica.se/music/spamatica/default/spamatica_-_ddb4.ogg http://spamatica.se/music/spamatica/default/spamatica_-_bloodsimple1.2.ogg <...> Development is slow hard to give a date, we've been planning to do a prerelease (alpha or whatever) for 1.0 soon, but the real release is still some ways of.

Hi, On Sunday 17 September 2006 10:48, Thorsten Wilms wrote: Yes, the changes were small. Mainly I tried to cut in the 80-160 region, increased the lower region somewhat. Mainly, but not only. I also added some highpass filter to the guitars to try to get them out of the "rumblebass" region. I couldn't leave the arrangement untouched either so there were some minor adjustments ;) The old version had some clicks on several audio tracks that I have tried to remove also. Lastly there was several compression artifacts from the mastering due to a bug in in the limiter used by jamin, this time I mastered with a patched limiter. Yes, possibly it's still too much. I did try to remove bass overall but I didn't like it. Basically I prefer it a bit bass heavy, it's indeed much more balanced in the new version though. I'm learning :) /Robert -- http://spamatica.se/musicsite/

Hi Arnold, On Saturday 16 September 2006 21:15, Arnold Krille wrote: Thanks! Oh, blush. As for chords, it's a variation of 12-bar blues played in G as I recall. The lyrics are as follows: Well, I gotta hand it to ya babe / This time you really thought it through I gotta hand it to ya baby / The way you tell it makes me smile I gotta hand it to ya babe / Although I've always played the blues You know I had darkness all around me / In my garden, in my house I had darkness all around me / Before my eyes, in my mind Still I always play the blues / I gotta hand it to ya babe Well, I was all broken down / Not a penny left to spare I was all broken down / Did not ever talk back Still I always will play the blues / I gotta hand it to ya babe Well I do, and here I go <solo> <repeat last verse> Yes, all the feedback have really taught me some new tricks and truths! JAPA was a very nice tool to get a visual feel for it also. Thanks for listening! /Robert -- http://spamatica.se/musicsite/

The only danger is that it takes very little time to get used to a bad spectral balance or some particular coloration, and almost always turning some filter gain up _seems_ to improve things. It takes some training or experience to avoid falling in this trap. Cheers, -- FA Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa.

2006/9/18, Folderol &lt;folderol(a)ukfsn.org&gt;rg>: Wishlist item: Noise generator (White and pink?) for JAPA! So I don't have to start JAAA too... I check my mix agin on the next day. And I listen to my normal music in between to get the feeling back... (Don't have a car or a normal home stereo.)
