RE: If you're feelin it...
Thanks. I usually use SoundForge. I've used different stuff on most of them, but Isotope seems to do a pretty good job. That stuff really isn't all that mastered actually, just a bit of compression, some EQ, and a bit of pop removal, most of the time. I have yet to have most of it put through the professional crunchings like tube compression, or a finalizer, etc.. Most of the warmth comes from using good gear, a mackie mixer, and really just adjusting the sounds so that they work with each other. I also use an old ProCo Rat and a bit of reverb when I can, and I think this really helps, even if it does add a bit of noise. Anothiner thing is that they are not compressed to hell like the tracks here are, if you're using that as a reference. I've got a sneaking suspicion that the sound quality of the work of a lot of folks here is higher than the mp3's here would allude to. At least I hope so.
K,
I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, and the fact that the facility exists alone makes it cool. It's just my snobbishness in wanting to keep as much of my sound intact as I can.
