Michael, Thank you for these suggestions, I will look into them as soon as I have time (soon), and I may take you up on your kind offer to audition the piece on your home system (which certainly exceeds the capability of *my* home system). I'd like to submit this piece again, and of course I want to fix it first. I should mention also that one of the best parts of the Harvest Moon symposium was the presentation by Dominique Bassal on mastering electroacoustic music. He is a professional mastering engineer as well as a composer, and his presentation was excellent, and on its own merits it was worth my drive from southern New Hampshire to Montreal and back. An earlier version of his presentation is available online here: http://cec.concordia.ca/pep/mastering_e.html - Dave Michael Rempel wrote: >> it sounded great on their excellent sound system >> (expect for a low-frequency artifact that I was unable to hear on my >> home system -- but that was my fault, not theirs). >> >> > There are a few options to help sound designers with budget equipment > that I suggest.
