Thanks for the appraisal, Nick. That's very weird about the header. Can I ask which software was telling you that? Was it in the .zip unarchiving, or a DAW/editor? In 4 1/2 years of professional service, this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned anything like this, so obviously I am quite concerned! Maybe time I updated my 7Zip?
the file i downloaded from dropbox wasn't zipped... i think. actually, i don't remember if it was zipped or not. sample manager showed the error. every other daw i had just ignored the error and just assumed the end of file was the end of the recording. i would not think it's any zip problem, because they have an extra CRC check inside the zip. everything needs to be bit accurate or the zip won't unarchive. i've found sample manager to be the pickiest of all the programs. they're a real stickler for all the header info being correct. they can also correct many of the problems too. - nick
KAyo -17.3 -0nice and open sounding. at first listen, i though it was a little constricted in the louder sections, but i like how it tightened in the low mid's in those sections. i like how it snaps focus in on the soloist. very musical sounding.
As to my techniques.I've used R8brain to downsample to 44.1khz.From there I ran it through:Shadow Hills Mastering UAD plugin with some subtle compression on both optical and discrete channels, more to do with the coloring than compressionManley Massive Passive 2 notches on low band a 150Hz and 9 Notches at high band at 3k9kHzVoxengo Elephant 3 with -0.3 db Limit and 16bit ditheringIntentionally kept it at K-14(ish) range
Hi fuse,Was the "Manley Massive Passive" also a UAD plug?KAyo
ArtSta: in the system i listen to there is a lot of low freq info which tend to cover the rest ( this room is big and the playback system goes really low) it sounds interesting cause of the low but i don't have enough knowledge of this music to tell if it's too much or just a little too much, i miss also a little mid.the dynamic is nice, it's involving!
