Advice is not only welcome, but much appreciated. > Hi, Roberto! Thank you for sharing this piece with us. I agreed with Mark suggestions. Try dynamics LADSPA plugins (compressors, limiters) to avoid clipping and increase(without fanaticism) loudness of separate instruments. Shift bass to the center and cut a bit of bass frequency from rhythm guitar for cleanness of bass. -- Truly yours, Oleg Ivanenko aka Ash [if it wasn't so sad, it would be funny] _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
