Tracks: Silk and Steel

[mdlbear]

Worked on "Silk and Steel" -- it was less trivial than I expected, since I wanted to get the guitar right on this one, and it was already well above average. Working as much from the spectrogram as from my ears, I think I finally got the guitar part where I want it. Only question, really, is whether I should have brought up the bottom dropped D string as much as I did. The peak was 20dB down, I think because of the previously-applied EQ. So I lowered the other notes on the bottom two strings, but raised the D about 10dB to compensate for the earlier indignities. Opinions? [ogg] -- I suspect the mp3 is too lo-fi to tell.

The full wave file can be found at the same site where I put the audacity project for "Someplace in the Net". Comment if you've forgotten where that was.

I peeked at where I'd gotten net-take-4a.tar.gz from and got a 404.... but then I remembered you'd specified an alternate location, and went and peeked at that. Downloading now, thanks.

Now that I have something up and running at dreamhost, even if it isn't a real site yet, it's amazingly useful.

I can't comment on the D-string, but it sounds (to me) like something is off by less than an eighth of a beat... Just enough to make me wonder what's going on, but not enough for me to fully define it.

Could it be the fact that it's in 5/4?

There may actually be some timing glitches on top of that, too.
