Amplifying it does not work well every time. Indeed. Hence the interesting part in such mixes. If I go by Michael White's recent Loudness class which I've started, the concept is to give ample space to the instruments which makes them breathe in their own range. This leeway created around the instruments then serves as padding when "raising the volume" later. With beat music we can see it as instruments are chopping here and there. Now with ambient music, or any music that combines spacey sounds (and I use some), in which instruments blends into each other, the interesting part comes in trying to keep some space so that these will not sound mushy or glued together later at the loudness stage. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
