Really, thanks, but no thanks. A compilation dictated by demands from musicians screaming "don't touch my perfect track" is doomed to fail. Some tracks will be so quiet compared to others that will (by juxtaposition) sound too loud. It will make EVERYONE's stuff sound like shit.

NO THANKS! If it was being done properly I wouldn't mind including the revised version of my track.

well, now that hevusa isn't associated with this compilation then i guess we don't need to hear his whining anymore, correct?

Tragedy!

It doesn't matter whether some tracks are mastered and some aren't. All thats required is the volume being the same on each track.

yeah mastering!

nicfit · 02.09.2011, 06:21 AM

Isn't that just "normalization"?
Assuming I get what dieselman meant...

terminal pharmacy · 02.09.2011, 06:25 AM

Alot of progs normalise at different levels. Slight variations but different nonetheless.

"you are a fool if you think your music would sound good inbetween two tracks mastered TOTALLY differently. Other people's tracks affect the way YOUR music would be heard"
A comment left by 'hevusa' on a previous post.

Whoever this idiot is just doesn't get it.

If my track was the sound of leaves rustling in a gentle breeze, that's exactly what I would want it to sound like. If my track was placed between two harsh noise tracks then so bo be it, I would still want it to be at its original volume, not cranked up to 11 to match the surrounding music. That would ruin my track. Sensible sequencing of the tracks would remove nearly all these so called 'mastering' problems

Mastering is an art form in itself and can fundamentally change the way a track sounds by the skillful application of filters and EQ. But the person doing the mastering needs to be experienced in the genre of music they are working on. It is not something that can be applied in a generic way to every type of music.
By the nature of the music that I write, fluctuations in frequencies and clashing harmonics produce sounds of their own that were never written into the original track, and after spending days, sometimes weeks, getting those frequencies and harmonics to sound just right, the last thing I'm going to do is to hand the track over to someone who's going filter the frequencies in an attempt to make it sound 'good', thereby undoing all my work.
So while Glice and GD have been kind enough to ask me to donate a track to this project, I am happy to do so. But if the track I donate doesn't fit, then by all means leave it out. I'm not being sniffy about it, I'm just saying that I have no problem with my track being dropped if my intransigence over mastering lowers the quality of the project as a whole.

So you are volunteering your track to be in-between two quiet tracks then?!?!
<sarcasm>Because that would probably make your louder track sound REALLY good in comparison!</sarcasm>.

This might just be the first compilation in history that was recorded in various bedrooms but all the tracks are "exactly what I would want it to sound like". Fucking ridiculous (but funny all the same).

Savage Clone · 02.09.2011, 11:47 AM

I don't record in a bedroom.

practice spaces, basements, garages, in the box... it doesn't really matter. the point is all the tracks will be from different locations (mostly untreated acoustically), recorded with various gear, with various levels of recording ability. Some will already be "mastered", others will not. it won't be an enjoyable listen.

Derek · 02.09.2011, 12:11 PM

you aren't involved in this anymore, why are you still going on some retarded diatribe?

Savage Clone · 02.09.2011, 12:30 PM

The gear in our studio is audiophile quality and produces recordings superior to many commercial studios.
Whatever. This is for fun. I had a track just sitting there doing nothing, and was happy to donate it. I'm not going to be precious about it. It is for fun.
