Sorry i did not answer... just saw your post here now... 2/12/02. Imho you try and make calculations on how you can earn the most, but also how you get your music out to as many people as possible... And i know that labels are complicatet and a lot of bullshit is involved, but still imo you should try to find a label which offers you the MOST... And what i mean is a label that will promise you results, and i mean that they will show were and your cd's are out... and also what kind promotion they are going to make for the album... But off course if the offers you get are bad, (from labels) then go a head on your own friend... yours Daniel/the green channel.

A lot of oldschool feeling in all of your music, keeping it very melodic and with some of that extra cheese on top that sometimes I love and other times I just hate. You tend to ingnore the low frequencies, and overcrowd the high ones... In short - production and mastering could be improved a lot.
I don't know - I just didn't really feel that these tracks move me like they could have.
As for releasing, a label is always better since they will take care of distribution, promotion, mastering and other things for you, which is very important. Of course, it's ultimately up to you.

Green Channel - thanks for support 
Kaz - big thanks for your feedback!
if i lose that "extra cheese", i'll get usual sound which im really trying to avoid
To say the truth, its weird but MOSTly i dislike my own tracks when im hearing them for the first time, right after i finish it.. with every new time i start liking it more and more.. cant explain this really, that just how it happens to me
about the production - it doesnt sound like those mp3s. Im kinda sure u'll get a copy of this cd once, legal illegal - it doesnt really matter for me, but i know u'll get it, listen to it on ur system with nice cd quality and you'll see that i dont ignore anything and most of the frequences are really ok
for some unknown reason this music sounds weird in mp3 version.. i know it was tested on high quality decks and it sounds pretty good, thats what sound engineers says
about the label:
i dont get ppl's hands on my music. i know compression and equilizing is great, now im working on it but i will never get anybody to edit/master whatever my tracks. I know what i want to hear in the end and i work on every track until i hear exactly what i want.. sure professional sound mastering would make sense, make stuff clear, etc.. but it will make my sound kinda commercial, which im trying to avoid too!

Brainstorm: did you ever listen to unmastered tracks right after you listen to the proffesionally mastered ones? The difference is astonishing. Mastering is more important than most people give it credit - you can litterally make a horrible sounding track to sound much better, and a track with good sound to blast people's heads open. And it's something that requires a lot of understanding and hard work. Something that I'd leave to the pros unless you've got a lot of experience at it.

Kaz: i am agree with you that the difference is astonishing but i still think "pros" will "commercialize" the sound..
so i im staying with my point - i dont want to make commercially viable, professional music so i prefer to stay with my "not-so-blasting" sound

bs, i think that mastering is like math and you can do it either right or wrong. nothing in the middle (at least to my knowledge correct me if i'm wrong).
plus i think you should listen to kaz cuz the man knows what he is talking about.
i'm sorry but i didn't have time to listen seriously to your tracks but i did hear that the lower freq. are missing.
cheers, gilad.
REHAB is for quitters |

hey Gilad, thanks for that short review.
but i think exactly the opposite - its impossible to compare sound mastering to math, because math is kind of exact science, you go by formulas there.. there're no formulas for sound mastering, like the ingineer indeed got all those "technical parametrs" like dbs, noices and stuff but most of the work he perform is being done by his ear
