In Response To: Maybe I'm Just Deaf... (REB)

Hey Raul. I guess I'd need to know what you mean by them sounding funny... I grabbed five tracks and played them back in iTunes. My thoughts:

Landing: Sounds good. A little B-Movie-ish but good.
Leela: the drums sound very flat, but overall it's OK
Aliens Again: interesting use of the stereo channels and cross-fades, sounds very flat overall. The drums are very flat and the bassline is buried.
Rushing: sounds like a John Tesh outtake, but I'm not sure your musician friend is to blame for that... the track kinda sucks to start with.
Fat Man: what's with the cheesy electric piano at the end? Sounds like 1970's-era Ray Charles noodling on a cheap Hammond, Not that that's a bad thing...

Overall they sound kind of flat and tinny, but that might be the encoding. They're at a high bitrate, but who knows? I'd like to hear a more rich, bassy sound. They don't differ a whole lot from the original MIDI tracks IMO.
