@QV : Yeah I followed that on Youtube IIRC. Can't wait for the new album and also to see your new lineup live.
@Decadawn : Tomorrow I might give the mastering a try, but I'm no expert or anything. Cool song btw!

 

[bryan.batiste]

I'll make a real version later if the contest is still on

 

[Taurean]

Okay, so we know it's 16 bit, but was it dithered down at any point? Or was this 16 bit at the source?

 

[Charlie E.]

btw that last riff sounds like Soilwork's "Chainheart Machine" hehe.

 

[Spamds]

Im a the new guy here but I will try coming up something with this sooner or later. Well not actually new, but here, down in my secret basement I have been watching everything you people do for an year now... a bit creepy though?

 

[Melodeath]

Doesn't your DAW tell you you are importing a 16 bit file?

Anyway, here's what I've been working on. This was done with the original wav file you posted: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=19617

I just wanted to know if this file was dithered or was the source at 16-bit.

 

[Melodeath]

I understand. That's a valid concern. My rhetorical question/statement was actually referring to the guy asking if the wav was 16 or 24 bit.

Alas, forum posting confusion

 

[bryan.batiste]

well to help you guys out i was told a 16 bit dither was applied to the wav

and i've taken another stab at the track and this is the best i think so far

i really cleaned up alot of the messy mids with the guitars and such and yea..just listen and get back to me ha
