And I can hear a radical difference between with and without on this. The without is muddy and fatiguing compare to with. Thanks! Great post; handy product from a great company!

You may also want to mention that you want to leave these settings flexible so if you work with a great Mastering Engineer that will give feedback on the mix, per song, you can quickly tweak these at the mastering engineers request. I find mixing bass to be difficult yet important since I don't have a tuned or treated room. I won't be printing any HPF to my mixes because of this. I have an older DAW though. Those with newer DAWs probably don't have to worry about bouncing tracks with plugs on them due to lack of power. ;) Great advice!

I don't think being on AMG is a prerequisite for inclusion on Pandora. In fact, Pandora is showing my album cover but AMG's site isn't, so maybe Pandora is filling in the gaps in AMG's database.

I had already saved your post about AMG and Muze but forgot or missed the one about Pandora...guess I'll send to AMG first then wait a few to send it to Pandora so they can find the info when there ready.

I explain how to get your CDs to AMG <a href="http://www.passivepromotion.com/?p=216" rel="nofollow"><strong>here</strong></a>, and how to get on Pandora <a href="http://www.passivepromotion.com/?p=145" rel="nofollow"><strong>here</strong></a>. CD Baby certainly provides Amazon with at least track titles and album artwork, and of course the audio, for CDs enrolled in their digital distribution program.

I'd like to get into Pandora and they say they get album art and info from Amazon...does CDBaby send that out to Amazon? I've noticed Color Theory can be found there and just wondered how you did it?

Unless there's a big spike, I leave the highs alone. I've tried rolling most everything off but the hi-hats and cymbals, but it's unsatisfying to my ears. Nah.

I knew this. I've been mainly working with midi soft synth devices lately and just forgot this would be loaded as an 'effect'...moving on. Now to reread your post! OK. I knew this.
