Thanks guys. You're right, Bebop. It sounds pretty crappy through small (as in PC) speakers; no bass and no detail. It obviously needs some compression, an area most of us know the least about. One of these days I'll get Diki to come up here and teach me some basic recording techniques . I know what the problem is but I'm too lazy to figure it out (like reading the manual ). I want to know that technique that record companies use to make recordings sound good on anything from monster sound systems to clock radios. If anybody knows how they do that, please share.
