Omsaps and I both thought this was too bassy, which was a surprise as his Green Day recording from the other week with the same rig didn't suffer from the problem. My suspiscion is that the battery box bass roll off either wasn't on or malfunctioned in some way. Anyway, whatever the cause, omsaps asked me to have a go at reducing the bass before I posted this and that I've done. I tried 8 different HPF settings and settled on 150 Hz and -12dB/octave based purely on listening tests I and Azure_sea in Australia performed on 8 versions of Starlight. Many thanks to Azure_sea for doing this for me - she provided detailed notes on each sample which was far more than I could have expected when I randomly asked her if she would do this for me. I'm sure this sounds better than the original unprocessed wave, but I'd be lying if I said I was an expert on EQing/HPF etc - I've read all the theory, done frequency plots etc, but to be honest I struggled to differentiate between many of the samples I tried. I know the roll off I've used is reasonbly severe, but its the one that sounded best to me and Azure_sea, so thats what I went for. What I can say is that I've done the best that I could with my abilities and if there are any mega Muse fans out there who want to use this for a Matrix and wants the unprocessed raw wave file or thinks they can make it even better PM me and I'll send you a copy. After all that guff, this is another excellent recording by omsaps with virtually no audience intervention - mega hats off to him for sending this to me. mp3 samples attached. |
