New Compression + New Song
Monday, August 08, 2005
The mp3 compression engine in Tuareg isn't very good. It makes the drums sound flat. I tried Media Monkey, and I was able to create a 128kbps mp3 that sounds much better and is the same size. I guess the technology has come a lot further since 2002 (when Tuareg was finished). So unfortunately, I'll be using that instead now, even though I actually paid for the Tuareg version. I've swapped out the old file for the new one.
Also, I finished work on a new song I'm tenatively calling Consumer. I even wrote the lyrics for this one. Originally I wrote a few lines just so I could plan out the song progression, but it snowballed from there. I still need gish to sing them, though. I may post the lyric-less version, if it still sounds as good to me tommorrow. I'd post the lyrics today, but they'll probably change a lot before the actual song is finished.
