Mike Oldfield himself could not be ashamed to come up with something like this. Please, bump up the Ogg bitrate, it's all muddied and I can't really figure out the finer aspects of the mix. I still can't decide whether I don't like your distort, or whether it's the meager bitrate that's causing the issue with the distortion. > Jamin is playing silly buggers, so it hasn't gone through my usual > final compression to sort out levels Well, give it a kick and see if it's still breathing, 'cause some tweaking would be nice. E.g. the piano at the beginning is "lost in the forest". I would also beef it up with a couple more instruments, the stage is a tad hollow for my taste (I hear the idea but it's not fleshed out enough), but maybe that's just me. Alternatively, the slight hollowness might be caused by an unfinished mixing/mastering. I can't really make up my mind. Don't hesitate to use panning more generously. Maybe that's part of the slight hollowness issue. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
