So awesome. I just wonder, could i get the guitar tabs at the beginning? They sound so sweet and i just want to sit and play them forever on my guitar. Would be nice if you could upload them here or email them to me? Thanks. ^^ I love this song! So awesome.

Thanks for the confirmation, but now that the thread archives are misplaced since their site crash, I can't look at the other submissions. Cheers though, I still loved it. Heck, if you're looking for stuff to put on the Blog, just submit all your old scores. :) Ah, dang.

Erik, is this your submitted song a few months ago for the Black Mesa Modification: http://www.blackmesasource.com/media/community_projects/cp12_Larsa - Alone.mp3 I just figured there aren't many composers with the title 'Larsa'.

I was also surprised at the effect the attack alteration had on the overall mix, definitely makes you wonder about the algorithm in comparison to other software based compressors. And yes, the mix was rather loud, I had the input gain on the maximizer/limiter at 0db when I probably should have taken it down a bit, but hey that's how we progress, learn from past mistakes and keep on improving every time. @Arma, do you have a sister that can sing? ;) @oggyb, yeah the MClass devices aren’t great especially when relied on for mastering, but they’re not horrible either.

I suppose it is very much down to the way PH designed the algorithms in the MClass units, "old-skool" valve effects, etc., being very popular right now. I don't know anything about that, not being a regular Reason user. Of course the track sounds "good enough" ;) it sounds awesome compared to some efforts and it's obvious you know how to use what gear you have. No denigration there. Possibly in light of this you might consider pushing slightly less hard, I mean the waveform when I looked in Audition was just a solid mass of green, which it doesn't need to be. There's always sidechain (stick everything in mono through that except the kick drum) or multiband. Anyway, nice to talk to someone who really appreciates the value of learning good practice :). I'm beginning to think that the ice cream, like the cake, is a lie. @Brian: Interesting that changing the attack brought about such a tonal change in the audio.

If it's a Reason track I do everything solely in Reason just for the challenge. And yes, commercial records get the best of everything, if I had years of experience under my belt as a mastering engineer and sat in front of a sexy SSL console (actually probably wouldn't be behind one of these if I were just mastering) with great monitors and gear at my fingertips than perhaps I'd be able to make this track competitive to those -10 or -8db RMS songs that have a smooth, transparent compression sound. However the sad reality is quite the opposite, with very limited experience and low budget hardware, lack of acoustic treatment and so forth I gotta make due and hope the song sounds 'good enough'. But I totally agree that there is ALWAYS room for improvement. The day you turn your mind off to that possibility is the day you stop learning and you always learn new things every day in audio. I tried your suggestion and brought the attack up. It made the track sound more thin, could still hear the compression but it was as if I applied a dip in the low mids. Very slight of course, but still notable if listening closely.

I just thought the MClass was supposed to be transparent (being a mastering class compressor. . . ) and it's actually breaking the sound. Try increasing the attack duration, that way it might sound smoother by letting the kick through. You could very easily get the same loudness with much less pumping. Most commercial records that reach -10dB RMS like yours sound pretty smooth. Pendulum's Slam, for instance, reaches -8dB RMS in places yet the compression is nowhere near as evident. True, commercial records get the best of everything, but there's still room for improvement imho. Also, icecream plz :) @Brian and Larsa: I see.
