Yo Manikular (and all),

Been listening to your tracks of late, and they are pretty good man, thought I may as well mention that before I go into this post. Nice...!

Thing is mate, imagine...
You spend absolutley hours on end sat in yer bedroom plugging away at a tune and it finally sounds half decent. Then you cut it onto CD, take it to a mates and bang it on his stereo, what the hell happened? the EQing was well out wasn't it?! Oh yes it was - gutted.

now I'm aware of 1) this does happen, alot, it sucks, full stop
and 2) it's due to room modes, hi-fi amps attenuating and amplifiing small bits of the frequency range, such as appling a bass boost or something.

Question is, have you tried any of your tunes on systems with massive SPL?
Have you tried any of your work on a system like the one at the cellar or anything? Also, would it be out of the question for me and Vice to come down before a night one time and try some of ours on a decent club system.

As I'm sure you understand man, you need to know what your shit is like when it's banging!

Well, peace out

Phil man you been producing much of late?

Speaking for meself I no longer have any tunes to bring down. But I would definately want to come with Phil to see what sort of quality you can get on a banging system with our mostly-fruity-loops-produced tunes.

Hopefully it will give us some idea of how to eq our shit properly and maybe we'll get some insights into our tunes that we havn't had before.

And if there are ravers present then the acid-test will be complete B)

what on earth is SPL?

hahahaha

i have studio monitors... i test my tracks in the car and also on the cellar rig occasionally. but also garry k plays them out and lets me know how they go down.. so it's all good :)

well worth checking them on about 8 or so different rigs

cheers for tha feedback boys.!
oh yeah and for the record, SPL is short for Sound Pressure Level, for the purpose of this post that means volume!

thanks again

bollox - that was phil, so's this!

[Manikular]

oh right hahaha

i usually check it on different systems... a good way of seeing if a track is well engineered, play them on shitty pc speakers.. if they sould good then you are in :)
