as far as the LSO, I honestly don't know where it came from. It was given to me, and I liked the performance better and the mix of it better.

There were several versions available to me, but I included that... but apparently no one knew that one existed (ironically lol)...

I need to ask my friend, but I'm almost certain it's the LSO... it sounds like that...

as for the sound getting to loud, that does sometimes become a problem with my edits. I usually listen in my car, so I suppose, subconsciously, I pump up the music a bit so that I don't have to turn it up so loud in my car...

I also prefer it louder. It's easier to turn the volume down than up. You turn the volume up, especially in a car, and you start adding hiss, and all this other digital noise (at least in my car)...

But I am very careful to make sure that the tracks don't get too loud. When I mix them and save them, I did check everything for any noise so there should not be any tracks that are "too loud."

As far as track 3 on Disc 2, that particular cue gave me a lot of trouble because it seemed that no matter how I mixed it, it sounded bad. It's only available on the SE, and the mixing on it is just bad... and there wasn't enough I could do to it... As far as being too loud, That is not too loud... It has no cut off....


If you are having trouble, when I made these sets, I balanced them in such a way that you should NOT need to use any presets on your players. If you use presets, you will undoubtedly have problems. Check to make sure you don't have your volume set up like this...

ie: Loudness, Orchestra, Pop, etc. These volume settings will mess the sound up. I make my sets in such a way that they do no require such settings and should be find without them.

So check on that and let me know if that's the problem... or if you still have one...
