So, I'm doing some house-keeping on my computer and the net and migrating a bunch of stuff over from former file hosts to Soundcloud and thought I'd put up this full-length, mixed album I produced and released back in 2008. All of the production work is mine and music (except where otherwise noted) is also mine.
A few people here have already heard it. Most everyone who has, has had generally good things to say about it.
FWIW, I felt it disingenuous to put it in the DJ promotion forum since this was basically produced entirely in my DAW. Regardless, I hope you guys enjoy it.
Feel free to comment.
NOTE: Also, if you like what meriter did with my tunes, you'll love what he's done with his. SMOOOOOTH! |

| Listening now. What is this player you're using? That's pretty slick. |

Soundcloud.com - It's freaking awesome! |

| I just finished listening.. this is good stuff! The overall sound quality is suffering though, I don't know if that's from the encoding or what. It sounds like it was mixed on a system that's really heavy on the highs. There's not much going on in the low end either. What kind of setup are you using? |

It's the same as I'm using, currently. Cakewalk Project 5. It's a little light on the bass and I may re-master it, at some point, as it was done a long time ago and I'm learning a hell of a lot more than I knew back when it was first released.
It may be the encoding on the stream (128kbits tends to be harsh), but I suspect some of that could be alleviated in the future. |

| Sounds pretty nice on a skim-through, but you really ought to re-do the mixing on all of the tracks. The muddiness and lack of high-end detract from the music, I think. |

GAH!
Between the two of you, this mix ought to be perfectly balanced! ;)
But thanks. FWIW, I'm currently toying with a remaster. |

I'm pretty sure we agree, actually. meriter said it sounded like you used a system that was heavy on the highs, i.e. you used a system where the highs were loud and overcompensated by turning them down too much. At least, I think that's what he meant. |

That's a good possibility. Regardless of disparity or congruence - neither are what I was hoping for. |

Yes that's what I meant. If you wanted I could master this for you in no time. It wouldn't really take much and I'd be happy to do it... |
