Very nice. My FWIW comments: the bass is nicely compressed and sustained but the kick is a bit low so they don't quite reinforce each other. I know some people like "dynamics" but I prefer a radio-like mix with everything "in yer face" so, ideally, I'd prefer some sidechain limiting of the vocals, and solo, so the surrounding music was up a bit more. Perhaps a bit more stereo split of the acoustic guitar too. > Direct link to the ogg: > http://spamatica.se/musicsite/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=1&lid=11 > (No streaming yet, sorry) That is not quite a direct link... are you using the redirect to do some logging or something ? I pasted the direct URL to the Rad IO page and it streams nicely for me. Is this a problem for you that anyone using the Rad IO streaming link probably does not get logged ? The version number is a but awkward... perhaps there could be a "convention" that there be a song_latest.ogg soft link (or copy) to the latest verion ? This way other links around the planet pointing to a particular song will automatically always pull in the latest version? Also, FWIW, in spamatica_-_undecided.ogg during the racey chorus part, that splash symbol sounds like banging on the side of a tin shed... there is no "ting" to it at all, like a lo bit rate soundfont instrument or something. I think it should be the cup of a ride cymbal. > On a related note. There's been several discussions here about creating a > separate list for musical announcements.

There needs to be two parts... an ongoing "working group" discussion or comments about a piece and then some kind of summary or permenent changelog for the same piece. The first suits a mailing-list and the 2nd a Wiki/web-page. A forum could kind of work for both, I guess, but I find them too cumbersome signing up for yet another account, logging in, and the heavy HTML overload per message... and those inevitable useless one-liner comments. No one is complaining about song postings/discussion here yet anyway... perhaps when the quantity picks up to the point where the LAU help-line is getting drowned then it'll be natural to move on to elsewhere. 1.99 c worth. --markc
