spent hours doing post-production, can't tell the difference between result and initial wave files.

grargh. let me try this again...

i'll never forgive myself for deleting all the source files for this ancient stuff. something as simple as boosting the guitars turns into a math problem about fundamental frequencies and harmonic overtones. ugh...

not to mention those samples. to be 17 again would be to understand what the fuck i was thinking.

the mastering process on this stuff consisted of compressing the wave files to mp3. the fraunhofer method, i suppose. hey, that *is* a type of compression and it was a valid best approach when mastering software was out of the reach of warez on home pcs.

btw, my take on warez is that if intellectual property is to exist at all then it should be very minimal in scope. ten years, tops. i don't tend to go after the newest releases, but i think previous cycle software should be treated as freeware.

anyways, this is long overdue to be run through some stereo imaging and harmonic exciters. but there's just a handful of places where the mix has come out fucked...

so, i'm running over the source material with parametric eqs trying to get just the right frequencies out. almost done. and it's almost painful, really.

^ only a perfectionist, huh? lol.
