Anybody out there in TAXI-land know about this thing? Only noticed it within the last few days.
This is a worktape, and tempted to use it as an experiment - but I don't want no trouble!

There's an A/B here : https://creators.soundcloud.com/mastering-on-soundcloud

Mostly it's just louder and a bit brighter IMHO ..I can't be bothered grab the audio to level match them properly

Some nice playing on your song BTW - Vocals and lyrics kinda let the side down for sync though

Thanks for the A/B - honestly, for same reason, and for the samples they chose - not impressed... at least, not a very good A/B.
Although, per Spinal Tap - you do want more loudness. :? 8-)
The Nashville guys who played the tracks are super, IMHO. The rest is a WIP, as they say.
I don't play Bluegrass, but songs in that style seem to be where I often land; so I gotta find experts; happy to have access to some.
Cheers.

I wondered about the whole mastering thing too, when I discovered it yesterday. But I don't want SC to mess around with my files... :)

I wouldn't mind testing it out with a throw-away track; but I'm even suspicious about 'following the yellow brick road'... expecting to get charged a fee, with no turning back.
Lyins, n Typos, n Barely any difference... :? :shock: :o 8-) Oh, My!
