The first thing I would suggest is to obtain a good understanding of MIDI. If you're going to have a lot of different machines in the studio, it can be pretty important to know how to connect and sync them all up to one another.

Cold Earth sounds pretty organic to me. I don't think it contains any samples beyond the voice snippets

Since the brothers seem to prefer to do their interviews through email, I don't see why there would be an issue with 'publishing' or whatever. We could complile a list of our best questions and then submit them to mdg or other Hexagon Sun official. Everyone in the BoC camp should be well-aware of ...

Open The Light

I rarely see people mention this one when talking about MHTRTC. And that is sad, because it's a brilliant track

There's a great fan-made video for "Nothing Is Real" up on Youtube now. Very nicely done

Why doesn't anybody ever ask them about their older material, and if they have plans to officially (re)release more of it at some point?

Just think Side A and Side B on a record or cassette tape. Then you'll be fine again

Collapse would be the end of Side A

Weird indeed. My thought would be that perhaps nobody with an American/non-Japanese TH CD has entered & uploaded the data to whatever system Sony uses, and it defaulted to using the Japanese track data since it was the closest match But all the track titles and other album details are in English ...

I don't need science. I went to school for audio recording and we ran comparison tests on this very subject

Even when you dither down from 96kHz, 24-bit or 48kHz, 24-bit to 44.1kHz, 16-bit there is a noticable loss of depth in the low-end, particularly in the 30 - 85Hz range.

The whole recording world understands that recording at higher sampling rates will give you greater dynamic range, and that the preferred option of mixing down from 24-bit to 16-bit (cd quality) is to use dither rather than simply cutting off those remaining 8-bits and throwing them away - "To hell ...

First off, have you ever considered working on music using a video? It can be a very good way to be inspired and help you write a track. I once wrote some music for a video project in school and it turned out surprisingly well, I received many compliments

Second, it can help to have a track ...

Sundown & Corsair

The first time I heard Sundown, I felt it had a very strong resemblance to Corsair from Geogaddi.

With all the recent talk of 'mix and match' BoC tracks, I thought this one might be worthy.

My computer with my recording software is down right now, so can someone else try it?
