It's not a tune, but it IS a recording:
It's about an 860k download.
I'll be doing songs for sure at some point, but right now I'm piecing together a voiceover business. Here's the process on my Athlon AXP 1800 with the Audiophile 2496 card:
1) Music bed craeted in Acid Music (not pro) and output to 48 kHz wave file.
2) Music bed imported into ntrack and converted to 96 kHz.
3) Voiceover with new Audio Technica 3035 through 12 channel DOD board. Fasoft compressor used on vox only.
4) Mix to 44.1 kHz, 16 bit wave file.
5) Convert to 256k mp3 with cdex, normalizing during the conversion here. (Could have done this in ntrack, but I haven't had good luck normalizing in that program lately. Do I even need to normalize stuff like this?)
Eventually, I want to get Acid Pro for the 24 bit support and Sound Forge for the beautifying effect. But for now, this is what I have.
Silly as it may be, this was really an excercise more than anything. The target audience is radio. I'd like to deliver via mp3 whenever possible and am wondering how things sound. Specific things or overall, good or bad, any comments are welcomed. I have some spec work to get to this weekend and want to do the best I can with what I have. I appreciate all the brutal honesty I've read in this forum. TIA!
