dc:description	"<p><strong>The Mosaic Effect</strong> is a recording made, and originally released, in August 2000.  The track, which plays for almost 18 minutes (now split into 5 smaller parts), is heavily inspired by <strong>Mike Oldfield</strong> - you can hear several Tubular Bells style motifs throughout the piece.</p> <p>The recording was made using a piece of software called "ModPlug" - a more advanced Module Tracker that could grab clean 16bit samples from your soundcard's SoundFont banks - giving it an almost MIDI-file sound.  It's not the easiest piece of software to make professional-sounding music with so expect something rather amateur and very roughly mixed.</p> <p>The piece was digitally remastered in July/August 2006 from the original master CD.  If you want to know all the technical details... read on!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><u>Technical Info & Remastering</u></strong></p> <p>When the piece was complete, it was just downmixed to a 16bit 44KHz PCM Wave file and burned to the master CD as is.</p> <p>The master CD, which was in quite poor condition, was first securely ripped using "Exact Audio Copy" and then loaded into Sony SoundForge 8.  You could visibly see several large clicks, even when zoomed out so you can see the whole file, so a conservative pass with a de-clicker removed the big ones. </p> <p>Using an AKAI QuadComp VST compressor, I added a moderate amount of compression - particularly in the upper range.  The original recording sounded very dull and muddy (my knowledge of mastering techniques at the time was virtually nil) so this was necessary.  Compression can be an ugly word to audiophiles so I tried not to make the recording overly loud and distorted.  If you experience "distortion" during the last couple of parts caused by a loud and woofer-damaging bass run... don't worry - it was intentional!  Another pass with the de-clicker removed any smaller clicks that were missed the first time, but were now made more visible by the compressor.</p> <p>A scan with a normaliser showed a peak of around -1dB and an RMS of -17dB (as a rule of thumb, -18dB to -12dB RMS is considered normal... anything above that is just loud for loud's sake)... which saved me a job!</p> <p> </p>"^^xsd:string
