No offense meant, ToTc, but the perceived level isn't even half as high as on herodotus' own mix (btw, I think both guitars are pretty much too loud as well, but that's an entirely different story and probably a matter of taste).
I don't know what you're using to master, but to my ears with this one something went the wrong way.

Sorry, but I allways prefer being honest.
Ok...so what's the problem though..having trouble understanding exactly what you're pinpointing. Just the percieved volume or what?

peace!

Yeah well, it simply sounds a bit weak.

Sounds distorted to me :? what did you use to make the mp3?

Are you talking about the master or the mp3 in the Updated Song List? They are two different tracks. :shrug:

I'm comparing the two. The preview MP3 sounds clean (though its FAR too loud IMO!) but the mastered version is clipping in the bass. It sounds to me a little like the low band of a multi-band comp has much too fast a release time, but I don't suppose that's it really..

Hmm -- I didn't notice any distortion in the master.


No -- the MP3 is there sorry... Listening to it now..

I really don't want to play devils advocate here or sound like an asshole. I also know that ToTc is a top guy, so I really don't want to offend him either. But you (or we, whatever...) want the best sonic results possible, no?
I'm not in a situation to define what went wrong, let alone being able to do it any better (I completely suck at mixing and mastering), but I am able to tell that this specific master isn't sounding all that shiny, compared to herodotus' preview.
No idea as to what to do about, but I thought I should mention it anyways.

hello totc, :-)
some general instructions for mastering my track:
i usually do not want my tracks altered in big ways during the mastering process.
i only would prefer to even the track volume level with the other cd tracks and probably remove some distortion, if you hear any.
i would prefer if you could leave the basic track's atmosphere as unchanged as possible. ok?
for example: do not add too much, or any at all, reverb in the track. if you do, please add it in a very subtle way.
and i state again that i do not want to critisize your work Totc in any way really, i just want to give you some general guidelines to help you. ok?
many thanks for your great help and,
best regards, :-)
bakis.

Hey no man -- totally cool! If you think there's a problem then we need to see what's up -- no worries.

We absolutely want the best sound possible, so if ANYONE has a question or comment about their track master, we definitely want to hear about it.

Let's see what TOTC comes up with ... ;)

I think it might be helpful to take the mastering feedback to PM, we have 40ish tracks, and every artist has a wish or two regarding their track, might crowd this thread really quick.

Just an idea!

Hey no worries! This is a TEAM effort, so giving input to the mastering process is part of your song creation. Don't panic :lol:

If ANYONE has input, please let TOTC know. It's all about communication! ;)

Yep -- It's a GREAT idea Markus --

As said, anyone needs to comment on their master, please PM TOTC -- He's certainly open to working with people on their tracks. :)

Cheers,
ALex

"Mastering instructions" for my track: I suspect it needs a lot of equalization, etc, but you can do whatever you feel like with it (when it comes to mastering, of course) :). I'm still working with multimedia speakers so get ready for some real bad surprise... :oops: :shrug:



Oops: I was writing this post when that PM sugestion came...
Eventually something intelligent will appear written here. Watch this space.

One other 'right in front of our noses' marketing question:

Will KVR-Ben allow us a spot in the rotating ads at the top of the KVR page? That's how I found out about Resonance.
