New music

[Gorman, Declan]

Hey Micke,
  Thanks for the info.  What you did certainly did enhance the track and
gave it more life.  I will try your methods at the source to see if I
can improve it myself.  I never think to eq the master bus and usually
just eq the individual tracks.  I don't think I even have a multiband
limiter so I will have to get my hands on one.

Regards, 

Declan.

listened to your results.  What exactly did you do to the track to make
it sound so good?

First some eq, 2 dB lift at around 3.5 kHz and 1dB highshelving from 10 
kHz. Then added some saturation and finally into a multiband limiter to 
even out the frequency ranges a bit, enhancing everything from around 
500 Hz and upward.

It became a bit overcooked though. It would probably sound better if you

first had done something to your sounds.

I'll let you know my secret mantra: Adjust the cutoff frequency until 
you think it sounds perfect, then raise it a bit :)
