My new album was composed, recorded, mixed, and mastered 100% in Digital Performer and prominently features MachFive 3 instruments, including the Fazioli grand on every song. I also used MOTU's MX4 and the old Garritan Instant Orchestra extensively.

I'm calling the music "Jesus songs" because it's not really contemporary Christian music. Maybe it was contemporary 40 years ago! I hope it inspires listeners to love Jesus. This was a 3-4-5-year "labor of love".

I'm not real happy with the streaming quality of the the MP3's on Soundcloud. Do you think if I upload higher-quality audio files to Soundcloud (instead of MP3's) that the streaming will sound better?

Simply amazing production. Many thanks. Strange that there haven't been any comments.

Thanks, Oddur! What's your opinion on the SoundCloud streaming quality? To me, the "highs" sound "fizzly" on some of the tambourine, hi-hat, and cymbal sounds. I was very careful when mastering the MP3's in DP to set the Masterworks Limiter to a -1.1 db ceiling, which I've heard is a good maximum level for MP3's.

Hi Doug

I'm not the guy to talk about ´highs´ anymore. I'm 71 and worked as an aircraft mechanic for over forty years around loud jet engines.
