I've posted some of the recordings I've created recently, using Doggiebox as my drummer :)
Nice work Jim. I'll add a link to your site to the DB songs page when I get a moment. What are you recording in, and what are you compressing to mp3 with? I notice the levels are nice and full... everything I mix down in Audiodesk seems to be "quiet" when played back in itunes, compared to other material, despite my mastering it as close to the red as possible. I haven't been sure whether it's an issue with audiodesk bouncing low, or itunes attenuating what it encodes. Any reason why you've zipped the files? It necessitates extra steps (gotta download the full zip, then unzip, then load into itunes) in order to listen, whereas posting raw mp3 files would allow them to start playing immediately in the web browser. And since mp3 is already compressed, as you will have noticed the file size difference between the zip and mp3 is insignificant -- in fact, Mirror for example, it's actually 200 bytes larger. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
