> i was wondering how y'all (at least those of you that are making music) work with the final mix of your track. im particularly interested in so far as the really minimal compositions go (bernhard gunther, richard chartier, etc)...how do you compensate for the near inaudible elements (or sometimes the entire piece) when you set the levels in the mix? im a little more familiar when theres a more conventional track in question, say techno, but microsound mixes are new to me. any help is appreciated!

#1 use your ears...you like it...then great.
#2 check on other systems...does the balance translate well
#3 thank god this isn't the pop radio world where maximizing levels is the game

Bernhard and Francisco are in a different world alltogether.

Might ask the same over at [lowercase sound].

A friend of mine found it hard to justify spending $30 for an import CD
for something that you can even hear.  I think there is a great deal
of work that works better in a live or a gallery situation where the
artist is a bit more in control of sound levels.
