There is an interview with Miles Showell about the processes involved in producing Solid Air. The project started with a 1/4" mastertape .... Edited by Chris Firth - 01 Oct 2019 at 4:49pm |

Thanks Graham. I can see why you mentioned this, usually quieter means further away and with some HF absorption from the air and the surfaces/objects in the way. That isn't generally the effect of turning down the level on most mixers. BTW I used to really enjoy mxing live bands but it was always about evening out the drums and instruments through the backline, and blending in vocals. |

I must admit to remixing and remastering my old recordings, demos and multi-miked rehearsals. No links on offer you'll be pleased to read!There are ones where I know I was really into a miking technique or had a new processor that was different sounding and so it got over-used. I now go 'oh dear' was that on the tape or a mixdown insert, and can I EQ that out! So I take the point above about mastering and think it is a creative and therefore subjective process, and can dominate the sound of an album. Done well it brings an album to life, but subtle enhancement is best. |

I will have to listen to that one later. That was a great film and I really enjoy Oriental music and soundtracks. I still use songs from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as some of my go to test tracks.

I've just bought the OST CD for the third film but tragically, 1 and 2 are out of print. Looking at a seller for 2 but it costs a small fortune...

It really is frustrating that most soundtracks go out of print so quickly but I guess they are a niche field.
I am sporadically trying to track down the 2-disc special edition of The Dark Knight to listen to the extra tracks but that is generally going for over £100. Sadly one of my main testing songs is on there but it is so hard to reproduce clearly, I am starting to wonder if it is simply full of distortion... I have had a few sessions of headphone demos over the last few weeks and it still amazes me how few [modern] "high end" products can produce a clean sound with controlled bass. There is a section in that track where the LF are so powerful anything that doesn't produce impeccably tight and fast bass makes the entire claustrophobic sound fall apart, hence it remains my primary test track after 11 years.
