Pretty nice... thanks for sharing. > One thing I'm not totally happy with is the "fizzy" distortion.

Especially after listening to the MBV link you posted, I think you're pretty close with this sound. (I'll call it the "guitar" part... even though I think it's a synth.) Prob. all you need to do is turn down the mids... maybe add a stereo delay with a very short delay (20-100 ms), and a different delay time for L/R. (BTW, I'm a guitar player...) Also, I think you need to turn up the bass and the drum parts a lot (compared to your distortion sound). Maybe for the bass part, take off the distortion. This may mean you have to turn down the "guitar" part a little bit. Also consider adding a little more motion to the bass line. The vocals being a little low is fine... but they should maybe stand out a /little/ more. If you turn down the mids on the "guitar" part... I think it will help in this area, too. I like the reverb on the drums a lot. :-) HTH, Gabriel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
