hey bill,
you possibly need to look at your recording levels, coz the s/nr on this is way off..did you record at as close to parity as you could?, dont forget that whilst compression is a good tool it also raises the noisefloor. the vocal seemed to be clipping in parts also, as did the piano, which to my ears sounded a bit over-compressed, or was it just the particular sample on the yammi, or was it an acoustic piano miked a bit far away from the hammers?

DonM said it sounded too hot to him, as well. Sounds great here! No kidding. Either I'm deaf or it's this cheesy setup. I could tell on the waveform it was borderline but it still sounded good. I posted it because it sounded pretty good and I was curious how you experts would see it. This was recorded before I figured something else out on the Fostex.
I think among MANY other things, I am going to get with someone and have them listen with me there on their setup and let them find a part of a song that has clipping or distortion and see if I can even hear it. I might not even be able to hear this stuff... with high frequency hearing loss. And cheesy headphones and the Logitech z2200 'monitors.'
That was the psr2000 piano, not an acoustic piano.
Hey Dennis, are you familiar with Har-Bal? Would that help a person with hearing loss? Visual mastering? Does it help you to mix visually?
