Hi,
this one I recorded yesterday.
http://soundcloud.com/fredvangestel/val ... -printemps
The accordion was recorded dry using an old hard disk recorder (still havn't got a good audio interface for that pc) and two mics for the left and right sides of the accordion.
Then mixed and mastered with MTS - I am still learning to get that loudness using compression / limiter and find a decent reverb that satisfies... any comments are welcome!
cheers - fred

Nice one Fred, makes waiting for spring a little nicer. The mix sounds good to me, no need to get any louder. If people need it louder they can turn up the volume
Loudness vs dynamics is a much discussed theme. I got a link from somewhere showing a quick way to get get loudness

I found it quite informative, and you don't need to go overboard anyway.
If you can use a soundcard with a cardbus (PCMCIA) I have an emu 1616m that won't fit my new laptop. Location Germany.

Thanks for the youtube link!
In respect to the audio interface: though my laptop was built in 2007 - it doesn't have a PCMCIA cardbus anymore - it has an ExpressCard
I googled a bit, there are adapters out there but they're expensive and they don't seem to function with all PCMCIA cards.
Thanks anyway!

I have to admit, this one made me smile. Uh, oh. The tune refers to Spring thaw, and here I am, only just slithering into Winter, half a year later! Oh well. Something to look forward to...
