Hello Reuben! Thanks for the advice an detail you've gone into. Here's a bit more: Of course I know that I've got frequencies all over the spectrum, but if I know the key and pick bands center on dominant notes (especially for the bass), I can push up the main frequencies of that instrument. The effect should be that the main components of the piece are clearly audible, rather sharper than in the original. the final sound I'd like to have: Loud, crisp and clearly distinguishable instruments. I'm not asking for the final recepe, but a good starting point. Mastering should happen with each song (or most of them) and doing that in a text-based setting, I have to deal with around 80 parameters and it would be good to have at least a sensible starting point. Kindest regards and thanks again Julien -------- Music was my first love and it will be my last (John Miles) ======== FIND MY WEB-PROJECT AT: ======== http://ltsb.sourceforge.net the Linux TextBased Studio guide ======= AND MY PERSONAL PAGES AT: ======= http://www.juliencoder.de _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
