You need better speakers or some good headphones. On my Altec Lansing super-mega-whoop-*ss set, the bases rattle the neighbor's windows. :)

Small pleasures

It makes me happy to see my two professionally musical friends discussing music - even if only fleetingly.

oh, i hear bass instruments, particularly low strings-- the double basses, celli, and violas holding out those thick fifths. i've got pretty decent headphones that i listen with at work. i was just being nitpicky about your use of the term 'viol,' of which there definitely are none on that track.

Oops! Thanks for the correction. I was thinking the bass viol was the lowest pitched string, but the double bass is an octave lower. And that was what I was hearing. I never knew the bass viol was similar to the cello until your reply made me go to google to look it up. I played in the high school band, not the orchestra, and we didn't have strings, darn it.

I had to use a -20dB filter on the bass to keep it from overpowering the rest of the song when I listened to it. Honestly, I think the sound engineers today optimize recordings for best sound on 3 inch speakers. No wonder I have to wear hearing protectors in the movie theaters.
