BUMPITTY BUMP BUMP! I talked to sylcmyk and he's in for a couple of tracks too... anybody else wanting in before the deadline?

I'm thinking, like next Sunday May 6th as THE DEADLINE. I've got some pretty sweet album art from Jake too, so everything is looking nice. It may take me a bit to get all the tracks leveld and mastered, but I'd like to get it out before June. sound good?

metric modulation sounds really technical, but it's a pretty simple concept: basically you are using some pulse from one section as the anchor for the time signature for another section. Like, say you are in 4/4 and you are using a lot of dotted eighth-notes at the end of a section, then your next section is in 3/4 but using the duration of that dotted eighth-note as the tempo for your new "quarter-note". So technically from the stand point of your previous meter, the new section would be in 9/8 rather than 3/4, but you would do this to avoid certain notational conventions... like say you are using dotted-eighth-to-16th-note rhythms or something. To do this in notation, you simply put a little note at the top where the "tempo" would go that has "a dotted-eighth = a quarter-note".

Obviously it can be used for much more complicated changes then what I'm listing here, but it's not more complicated than that. The whole idea is that it he ear doesn't really notice that you're abruptly changing tempos.

While we're at it... Has anyone else noticed that sometimes Bandcamp's streaming playback seems of especially low quality, even for 128kbps? I've had songs come out of the streaming player sounding almost as if they've been resampled numerous times, with telltale signs of garbled low-end and fizzy highs. It's a shame I can't encode and upload my own streaming versions for better quality.


i think i might have info on this! i looked into the same issue with soundcloud (terrible streaming sound) and it turns out that how they compress it makes a mess of things that are louder than -3db (if i rember correctly), so those of us that are mastering hot get audio artifacts all over the place. so if its worth it to you to make quieter recordings for the sake of streaming quality, idk?
