That sounds waaaaaay betterer than your 32 bit songs!!

I REALLY like SONAR's PC EQ. It wish it was a POVst though.

I like the song.

64 bit is the way to go - it may not sound *twice* as good, but the fact that you can load bigger
drum kits and instruments is going to help ;-)

Also - there is something to be said for all of us to be forced in to using different eqs and
compressors (and saturators etc) sometimes. That can make things sound different, and maybe even
*better* too ;-)

Back to the song - it does have some nice room in between instruments, and sounds really good. I'm
sure this could be accomplished in 32 bit though ;-)

Nice new photo of you on soundclick! Looks like retirement is making your
hair stand on end LOL!! Just kidding.
Glad you finally got you 64 bit setup working! Very odd song sounds 32bit
better (:

My first sixty four bit song! I really don't have enough big sampled
instruments to even come close to running my four gig machine out of
memory, so for this song, I loaded up the fattest jazz drum kit I
could and did crazy stuff like turn on three distances of room mics.
Then I loaded up my largest grand piano plus an upright grand piano.

To finish it up, I played real 5-String bass, and my semi-hollow blue
Oscar Schmidt jazz guitar with the wound G-String to keep it jazzy.

I call this one "Stress Test 64". :-)

Thanks Poly! This song proved to me that I can now throw as many bleed
channels or room mics on for any drum kit I currently have. I put more of
that stuff on this one that I would have in a real world scenaro, but I was
trying to stress the system out. Just the jazz kit with a couple layers of
room mics and a sampled grand piano would have run me out of memory before.

Glad to see you got the newsgroups configured and working. It's funny
because before you emailed me this morning, I had just done a lookup to see
when your last post was, which was last Sunday, because I though you might
have crashed your new system or something and were busy trying to get it
working again. Glad it wasn't that! :-)
