Funny that you guys should mention more cowbell..............
funny and synchronous.


I'm currently working very dilligently on mixing a brand new
piece of abstract electronica that is 43 minutes long
called................yes,  that's right,      'MORE COWBELL'

It, of course,  is in D minor and is very, very loud.
In fact, I can't remember quite how loud it is but I recorded it all the 
way at
the top of my 
Peavey  digitally modelled 'Spinal Tap' 30th Anniversay Gold Edition  
amplifier
(so cute with it's 10' replica of stonehedge on top of it)

I'm also glad you mentioned it because , now in the final mixing stages
I have this nagging fear that the 22 different cowbells I recorded are not
..................well........................loud enough.

Do you have suggestions about how I can get each one louder than the 
others but still
be able to hear each one clearly.

Did I mention that I want it really, really, headbanging loud?

I definitely think that 50-1 compression on the final mix will help with 
this but
do you all have other ideas how to make this as loud as is conceivably 
possible?

thanks.
