The Lesser Threshold

This was not an easy audio project and, the results were not as good as I had wanted.
After uploading the final mix, I realized that it sounded terrible.
I have been asking myself 'How much compression should I use on Facebook and VK?'
Although I am not entirely certain at this time, I am leaning toward no compression if the overall mix is exactly as you want to hear it.
If you have background vocals, subtle passages, etc......, compression will increase in priority for the upload.
I will continue to experiment with different settings and of course, style.



There a few subtle differences in the processing that some of the social pages apply to these recordings.
I have included both Facebook and VK.




'The Lesser Threshold'
is my first album in design/production.
I am mostly at the demo stage with few plans to re-record,
I will introduce material until the album seems reasonable.
After I have enough material assembled,
I will name the next album and start to work under that title;
whatever it may be.




 OK...I don't really use these colors, I used the 'Heat Map' effect in Google Picasa.
Anyhow, this is a snapshot of the Audacity project files, a few wave files and, one open project file.
Only a very small amount of the recording sessions were actually used to produce 'The Lesser Threshold'
