thanks for listening again...
you know, so many people fall for that 'louder is better' thing....
in the case of the original mix, there were obvious problems with the clipping, that was REALLY obvious if you have a good monitor system...
and it happened because i ouput the raw files by accident, rather than the file that went thru the limiting stage.....
it took the volume push, but didn't do the limiting, and had about 20,000 clips to it!!
LOL
i don't know what that means in relationship to other 'pro' mixes, that are absolute square looking when you see the waveform.....
but i have a feeling that i'm pretty sure i don't want my stuff to EVER sound that way.
analog, and digital, are such different beasts, there's really know way to apply analog to tape signal strength to what you can do in digital, without distressors and whatnot....
i've been recording for 25 years.
on tape at first, of course, and then to digital.
i've been doing digital recording since 1999.
i real a lot, do a lot of homework, and also spend a lot of time actually doing it.

thanks for checking it out!
yep, a lot clearer now.
and the bass didn't change a whole lot, level wise, but i DID tweak the eq, level and compression settings, and together they added up to enough change to make the big difference.....
