Thanks for listening and responding, Bob. The biggest problem I have when getting the instruments' volume balances right is that the music always sounds different depending on which program I'm listening to them in. What sounds like a perfect balance to me in Audacity won't sound the same via VLC Media Player, then that'll sound different to when I'm creating the video in CyberLink. The latter always gives a warmer feel to everything, but the balances sound very different. An example is that I was just rebalancing a track in which the 2 solos sound too low via VLC, so I decided to add 0.3 and 0.2db to them but they now sounded too loud in Audacity. I saved the file anyway and went to redo the video, but then in CyberLink they don't sound loud enough! I'll next listen to the track in a playlist so I can compare it to others, but even then I have to play the list 3 times, once at average volume, once at low volume and once loud as I often find that what sounds right at one volume won't at another. Regarding "Zuzu" I'd listened to it oodles of times, also on other sites before posting here, but it was only once I posted it here that I now think both the tenor sax and the dizi should be a little louder, though probably only 0.2 or 0.3db It's very frustrating!
