Thanks, guys  Smiley!

I only wish I could get the MP3 to sound as good as the Ogg Vorbis.  Tongue

When it's time to recommend the download version to anyone, please remind them that the Ogg Vorbis format will give them a superior listening experience.

Oren.

Kara,

I have three fedoras (hats). That's my fancy one  Grin.

 NeoN,

That's a model year 2000, G&L S-500 Deluxe.

 1997 was the last year G&L made a really good guitar, but the clear blue finish over flame maple made me crazy, so I bought it. The bridge is of slightly inferior quality, and the fretboard is not as smooth as my older G&Ls, but you might say that guitar is "Irresistible" Grin

Thanks for noticing,

Oren.

Marc,

When I was looking for a "benchmark" sound around which to EQ the compilation, yours was the natural choice. You have an excellent sense of balancing sonic components to provide listener-friendly output. Once I had EQed everything into the "JXP" zone Grin, then it was just a matter of selecting representative clips and assembling them in a order that flowed.

Thanks!

Oren.

Thanks! (Now where is that 'blushing' icon when you need it... Wink)

Balancing levels is very important to me, I use the Rokit RP5 to monitor my mixes and I'm glad to hear that the things they tell me seem to translate well to other systems. I have to say though that one of my secret mixing tricks remains panning. I tend to pan similar sounds to opposite sides of the panorama so they will stand out clearly and not just fill up the central spectrum of the mix. Can I ask what monitors you use?

Marc- I have four sets of monitors I use while working at home (we use the BlueSky 2.1 system at the recording studio). I use-
M-Audio LX4 2.1 system
JBL 3-way monitors w/Nakamichi amp (10Hz-50kHz) 100watts/channel
JBL 2-way monitors w/Technics amp (15Hz-35kHz) 35watts/channel
and the tried&true MinnieMouses (same Technics amp). The last set is the now out of production Minimus 4" 2-ways from RadioShack that became an underground cult mixing speaker. They are rarely talked about in public because the first instinct is to think it's a joke, but they were very accurate for what they were;desktop monitors for nearfield mixing at low volumes. I caught one of the last versions that was branded RCA before they were phased out.  Huge magnets, heavy little buggers, but they work. I'll probably regret mentioning those..

Anyway- your mixes sound pretty darn good on all of them. The RP5's must agree with you.

Oren uses a few different monitors too. I'm sure he'll chime in soon. I know he was having trouble logging on yesterday (maybe today too?).
Check the video at http://www.yourbestsound.com/home1.html if you want a glimpse at some of our stuff. A short video I threw together when I tinkering with the idea of having an opening flash page..
I'm working on getting a bunch more graphics together to showcase more 'stuff', but it takes me a while. I gotta spend some of my time on actual music.

Marc,

I try to maintain a selection of monitors that represents our listeners' typical equipment.

-The AKG K240DF headphones are the only example of gear that would not     
normally be used by the average listener.
-A pair of cheap Toshiba single-driver speakers covers the boom-box sound
-Skull Candy in-ear Smokin' Buds covers the personal portable players
-B&W 303s powered by a Rotel amp represents the mid-price home stereo
-Cambridge Soundworks "PC Works" powered speakers (sub-woofer and two            satellites) covers the multi-media computer user.

The Skull Candy in-ear units get the most use here because they isolate the listener from outside noise, and reproduce frequencies in a manner typical of current consumer electronics music systems. Comfortable too!

Tiens, j'ai raté un truc, moi. Il y avait création d'un disque avec plein de musiciens et j'ai zappé ce thread.
Tant pis pour moi. Bon côté des choses, je vais pouvoir écouter un bon CD !   Smiley

Wow, I've missed these posts about "Best of Kara-Moon 2007". I'm sorry because I'll be not on this CD.
Sad ? No, because I'll listen a good CD  Smiley

Yes, it is a very good CD. I've been privileged to have been able to listen to it fo a while now. (I mastered it)  Very enjoyable.  It's in my regular CD rotation and fits right in for me.
Nice job by everybody on the songs.
