    Boost 11 a simple filter? Hmmm. It should be a compressor that actively seeks out individual frequency ranges and compresses where needed to boost the overall volume of a track or tracks. It's certainly not a cureall, but more of a "final touch" in order to get individual sounds to be more "in front".
    Ozone 4 in Italian? I know these guys are out of Boston - if you've got a legit copy I'm sure they'll help you out. I haven't upgraded to 4 yet, but 3 has a variety of pre-sets that allow you to really change the overall "sound of the sound".
    Keep at it!

    Yeah, I'm was just starting to pick up some distinctions on the various effect on Acid Pro... I'm also just coming down with an ear infection. lol. All track mastering is off for the time being. As for Boost.. yeah, it was not at all what I thought it would, although it does make the intolerable more tolerable, but does not do the individual tracks any justice.

    So for the time being, I can spend some extra time on reading up on mastering.

    There are some really interesting approaches. I like to have the song move around, not just move left to right - any ideas?

    Ozone 4 appeared to be kinda cool, but as I mentioned, the demo that I downloaded from the Ozone 4 site (www.izotope.com). izotope has a few plugins that I'm interested in, but my computer is stressing even with Ozone 4... so much that I had to uninstall the demo. (Maybe my 2002 Compaq laptop doesn't understand Italian?)lol.

    Thanks for the updated feedback. Appreciated.

    Hey sounds like I just stepped into the wilderness...not surprising after reading your Bio...Mushing must be brilliant..I'm an old ski bum so I can dig the pull of the snow country...Getting back to business...the track's elements are great....one thing I'd start to do with big soundscapes like this is start to manipulate and separate the sounds more using different reverbs..I like to think of the tune in a three dimensional aspect..things can be moved forward and back left and right....given the different reverb types available it's worth experimenting..and any bass percussion can be compressed big time to add more punch.....great work..a huge canvas your using!..cheers planet :)

    Planet, thanks for the review. Its great to be reviewed by somebody who puts out the quality music that you do.
    Mushing is fantastic. Although they are wound up and high strung, the dogs are a peaceful and soothing to spend time with... hours of silence as the sled glides through the snow, watching trees, beaver, caribou and miles of endless winterland pass me by... music always comes into my mind, and sometimes I remember it by the time I get back to my cabin. I can only record as long as the battery in my laptop will allow, before firing up the generator and drowning out all silence.
    I'll look into more soundscapes. Reverb and other audio tuning is certainly my weakness right now. Exploring existing loops and making my own and structuring the music sequence has kept me from the mastering end. Kurt pointed out that I was neglecting that... he made a good point. So now I'm learning to apply these effects...
    I applied Boost 11 to the master volume of every one of the tracks that I have put out, and while they're tolerable, they have lost the punch and definition that I had put in initially.

    Your three dimensional approach is a great idea.

    I'll see what I can do on this canvass... right now its a bit of a Jackson Pollock.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Robby
    Nice track def a fusion track. Kinda cinematic\ethnic sorta sound
    But i do think Kurt has hit the nail on the head there when he talks about using some plugins to even things out a bit.
    i have quite a few of the free plugins from voxego myself they are really good and I just throw them in and experiment with them
    and see what things sound like cause I just do everything by ear myself.
    What I do quite a lot is drop effects or compression onto the master track and see what things sound like I dont know if that is the right way to go about things but its worked for me sometimes, especially with the amount of percussion sounds I use.
    Anyway nice track Robby
    Regards
    Krook

    Kurts recommendations were mint! I went and ordered Boost 11 to and got a trial for Ozone 4, only to discover that these plugin's are hammering my antique laptop to death... at least Ozone is. Boost doesn't even show up... perhaps a new laptop is in order... :S
    I will employ your techniques as well. I've tried abit already, but the changes are so subtle that I am not sure they are even happening. lol. Acid has a few inhouse plugins already, but I haven't been able to notice what's happening, if anything is at all.
    You and Kurt both have been very helpful. Much appreciated!

    I like this one - I even like the name. I was thinking that Stimulus would be a good band name!
    What software are you using? Things sound a little "individual" to me - not enough of a "band" sound, too many isolated sounds.
    (And, yes, I KNOW that's how it came about - I do the same thing!)
    I use a couple of plugins that help with making things sound a little more unified. One of them is Ozone 3 from iZotope. Another is VariSaturator from Voxengo. Basically, they're both able to apply compression within frequency ranges so that things don't "stick out" too much in terms of either volume or frequency.
    I use Sonar from Cakewalk as my main recording tool - and there are thousands of plugins for all sorts of effects.
    I like this piece - although I'm not too sure about the goofy laugh!

    Kurt, I'm using Acid Pro 6.0... well, not really 'using it' just yet, but learning.

    Plugins... I got Ozone 4 and Boost 11. It seems that Boost is just a simple filter. Ozone came in Italian??? Since my Italian skills are only marginally more diminished than my mastering skills (at best), I did not make use of Ozone.
    Maybe later... I do know that Boost is not the tool that will produce the results I'm looking for. Not a good use of $50. lol.

    Thanks again!

Description : A fat groove journey incorporating hip hop, jazz, rock and more. Chilled out and rocking, with some big riffs and basslines. The main instruments are saxophone, piano and cello plus some resonator guitar and banjo. Sax is the only instrument not played by me as the parts here were contributed a few years ago by a guy I know. Anything that sounds like distorted guitar is actually distorted cello. Loads of that, including solos, in the second half. No electric guitar or bass guitar. Not much synth work but there are two synth basses and an organ. Otherwise, it's quite an acoustic "played instruments" kind of sound. Lots of drums, including loops, multiple programmed acoustic kits and drum hits. I know Radiohead have an excellent song called Everything In Its Right Place but I still like my title and there's a story behind it (nothing to do with music). Interesting feedback appreciated. Do you have any favourite or least favourite sections? Details are appreciated...
