Okay... I really want to get this recording done and wrapped up! We did the actual thing at the end of last year, and the edit/mix last month. And we have been sitting on two versions of the final mix for a few weeks now. And now that I'm on tour, I've got heaps of time to listen and compare between the two.. ... of course, my wife and the engineer had a quick listen already, and we have thoughts... but my wife has delegated the final decision to me. Now... what is the difference between the two versions? Well, one is the raw final edit and mix... and the other has a noise reduction filter put on it. And on first listening in the car when we first got the versions, we were pretty happy with it. But on further listening on headphones, I found that the noise reduction made the violin sound weirdly hollow and there were bits where it sort of sounded a bit underwater? For a split second... and things that you wouldn't notice at all if you weren't listening to them on a good pair of headpho
