>I agree with y'all on the Steely Dan, and apparently not many Guitar World
readers have listened to XTC . . . Dave Gregory and Andy Partridge rule
jointly. Regarding their top ten, I don't think "Stairway to Heaven" is
Jimmy Page's best work, and I'm sorry, but I think "Free Bird" is a boring
song and a boring solo. I would never disagree with anything Jimi Hendrix,
though, and I was glad to see David Gilmour's "Comfortably Numb" in the top
ten.
My current favorite guitar solo, though, is the one Richard Harris does in
"Twilight," the closing song on Sarahtonin's Wayward CD.
OK, that was a blatant and shameless plug, but I'm totally serious about
Richard's solo. :)

With his fingers?! Come on . . . those little snare rolls sound too real .

>Yep - he's doin' it. I've scared a few folks with the same knack but that
guy's about a year or two of 8-hour days practice ahead of me. He does have
a controller goin' on the hat open/closed mod.
Ask Rod, he'll tell the names of at least 3 guys who play easily more
complex percussion with their damned heels and sides of their feet while
working a real hi-hat and double kick pedals and playing mixed meter all
night long while rotating multiple odd meters simultaneously from limb to
limb AND chewing gum at a completely unrelated tempo. Beats all I ever
saw...
Sarah, if you haven't seen any Bela Fleck, check out the "drummer."

$125 WOWHi Kim, I appreciate the file. I took a listen and while the kick is more
tame, I seem to be a long way from the reference goal I'm going for. I'll
have to see if my little brain can figure out how to get this sound. Drum
sounds are pretty new to me so I need all the help I can get.
Thanks,
John

>Here's another uncompressed file to try. I'm trying to squish the life out

And since Auxs can't do VST's I'm pretty screwed on doing a New York Compression
technique without bouncing.
Try to squish this without pumping artifacts. I don't think it's possible
with Paris EDS effects.

This is the sound I'm going for:

Thanks,
JohnI have stripped the desired goal reference file down to help in the comparison.
Here it is: http://tinyurl.com/lkbkp
Wavelab says the goal file is
RMS Power
left right
max-12.31db -11.89
min -34.63 -34.57
average
-19.94 -20.41
My file is
left
max -17.69 -17.09
min -90.32 -90.31
So what does all this mean?
THANKS in advance.Nice info:
http://www.har-bal.com/mastering_process.phpI'm really drooling over the new Toft desk! I hope it sounds as good as,
or better than a Trident 80-B.
Here are the latest pix
