You need to upload your track to some webspace. If your on broadband, then you might already have some allotted to you by your isp. Check with them first. If not, then you can sign up to different music sites such as www.acidplanet.com www.mp3.com www.soundclick.com and all the others. If not, then you could always ask me nicely to host it for you ;)

[tracatak]

nah bro its a brand new thing i learned....check it im dying to hear ur opinion

[Evil G]

i think this has been compressed way too much.

[tracatak]

so if its compressd way too much what happens then its wrong or something? jsut curious i dont understand

[Evil G]

if you zoom in on your file, you can see that the peaks are all square instead of round. it makes it sound harsh and muddy.

a raw sound will have many sharp loud bits that are too short in duration to make much impression on the listener, but they still take up headroom. when you use a hard limiter to smooth down those parts, it frees up some headroom and allows you to amplify the sound, making it louder. but there comes a point where there are no more extra bits to knock off, and the limiter starts to affect the actual sound. once this happens, you start to cut down good parts of the sound, while amplifying background noise.

of course you might want to do this on purpose to get a special effect on a sound, but you want to be careful when limiting a whole mix.

hope that makes sense.

cheers

actually it does make sense itll make more sense as i play around and learn more..his isnt gonna ever be on any track i play out live ..in oreder to get to that status i gotta learn from these mistakes..im sure ill be knockin on ur doors when i reach the next step...ty.

[Evil G]

with a good attitude like yours it will only be a matter of time. just keep on learning and experimenting. :)
