It might not fare quite as well on good loudspeakers as it sounds aphexy and liSSping, even if it doeS come acroSS aS open and up fronT. Kind regards Peter Larsen |

Does it really matter? does to me my stuff with Cubase5 sounds not a lot different from video 2 but I can't get anything like the quality/attributes of 1 - going by what I hear through headphones and my (admittedly lousy) speakers -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/ |

So... is your problem with Cubase5 to do with your mixes not sounding good to you, or to do with compression artifacts when you export it somewhere? Because in the case of those two sample videos, the compression artifacts are what first jump out at me. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

The samples I listened to, though, are like "lift music", bass and rhythm heavy with no real dynamics and are, I'd say, not real instruments. The film samples aren't much better. this has to be really, really, *really* expensive software, which is able to sound like real audio waves which have been recorded You could do what he's done in a full version of Cubase. The limits are the ability of the user, with, possibly the purchase of some better soundbanks for the VST instruments, or better instruments. I am in no position to record genuine instruments all my sounds (apart from vocals) have to generated on a computer You and many others. but the best I can do is the sort of musical mush I hear on video 2 The sounds heard on both the Youtube clips you linked to are, I would say, exactly as the performers intended them to sound within the limits of Youtube sound. The first is a minimally produced, well recorded and performed piece. The second is a very "produced" piece which sounds like just about any piece performed by such artistes. I'd say the first might even have been recorded "live" with minimal editing, and I'd guess not many tracks (8? 16? I'd use 8 and very few effects.), while the second has been compiled from loops and studio sessions like a jigsaw puzzle, using as many tracks and effects as could be fitted into the session. -- Tciao for Now!

the biggest difference between 1 and 2 is the DYNAMIC range compression. (not the bit rate compression) Video 2 is excessively squashed. But as someone said, that may be the sound the producer wanted, G-d only knows why. Mark |
