I entered "Rising darkness" in the Heavyocity competition which has great prizes - http://www.heavyocity.com/Contest/ Ps. Ugh! "Tribal streets" sounds really bad - something about the Youtube encoding really makes some tracks sound really sloppy and lack definition. Anyone know a way to compensate?

[... Ps. Ugh! "Tribal streets" sounds really bad - something about the Youtube encoding really makes some tracks sound really sloppy and lack definition. Anyone know a way to compensate? Sorry Rob - not had time to listen so I'm guessing here... Youtube adds additional compression to audio/video and that can result in issues. It tends to be particularly noticeable if you have audio that is close to peaking at 0dB - Youtube will often take that and result in an over-compressed and heavily limited work. For Youtube (and pretty much all the similar sites) keep peak levels down to -1dB. Also, I tend to find Youtube material to be poor EQ wise. Not necessarily the original material but what results. Too much low mid @150-350 Hz and a lack of clarity in the high at 2-5k and often a sort of nasty, over bright top end at 6k up. If I know somethings intended for Youtube I'll try and allow for this a bit at the mastering stage. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

If I know somethings intended for Youtube I'll try and allow for this a bit at the mastering stage. Thats true Tony, but also the compression/sound is worser at 360p. If You upload a HD clip and then play it back at 760 and higher - THEN suddenly all the treble sounds normal..... Besides this "phenomena" I found the best way to do it, is to encode the movies in .flv or .f4v before You send them up. And also encode the MP3 stream at 225 kb/s instead of the default 128 kb/s in my video proggie.
