Listening to field recordings containing percussion jams from my Januar trip to La Reunión/Mauritius.
It's marvelous to drastically limit the frequency response of the original recordings - and then add a slap-back delay, noticably louder than the original and with even more narrow frequency response.
This focusses everything into one. And it lends the quality of an intense & sparkling memory, rather than just appearing to be a full frequency natural #recording. The almost always massive ocean waves in the background are a lovely detail. Beautiful.

So that's that. Now pondering a strategy to recompose all this into a work of its own.
(The usual surgical digital tools are crying "use me!" into my ears, but that seems all too worn out. Got to be more ~~haptic~~ tangible.)

@ɟloʍ Danke für die Blumen, Wolf :-) Wir sollten bei mildem Wetter mal wieder im Biergarten aufschlagen - und unsere Damen mitnehmen.

I'm really not into proprietary audio software.

But #WaveLab's spectrometer is seriously the best I've ever seen in frequency analysis, allowing for any resolution you'd always wished for in #mastering and #mixing.

One starts to visibly understand, why subsonic frequencies don't just always need some low cut , often believed to be necessary to reach more volume (effectively causing #harshness in mids). You'll find, that subsonics may serve an audibly musical function, used to influence and shape warmth, relaxation or anger, stress, and body & depth, even air.
