I bought the Cd ‘The Scent of light’ last night at the Dallas House of Blues Show. It is a very good disk but I am concerned that the over all recording level is much lower then the rest of my CDs.The volume is low enough that when other disks in rotation are over I have to turn up ‘Scent’ and then turn it back down when the next disk comes on. Are they aware that this is how the disk was mastered? I have tried this on four different systems and the volume is down on all of them.

To this I am a little bummed out valuing the quality of such a fine recording when playing with others disks at the same time on rotation in my art studio. Please bring it to someones attention, it does have a ruining effect for me.I love the disk, just not the ‘levels’ it was mastered in. My reply: Thanks for your note which was forwarded to me. We use less compression in the mastering process which allows my music to have more dynamics. It simply sounds better.

Thoughts on Music Regarding Steve Job’s open letter RE DRM I want to add a few notes: Apple should: 1. Make DRM elective, meaning Apple should allow indies like us to elect NOT to have our music encoded with DRM – for extra points they could add CC-Licenses…

aqian100310 Add OGG Vorbis and FLAC to the formats supported by the iPod. At present it is easy enough to encode OGG Vorbis files or even install a free plug-in that enables playback via iTunes – but iPods won’t play back the files. 3. Apple should increase the quality of the files sold on iTunes. IMO 128kbps is not worth it and is the main reason I have so far purchased only one track from iTunes. Give us at least 192kbps.

Was able to play guitar for the first time since this happened. After practicing some scales I pulled out the Opium transcripts by Daniel Ward and studied Winding Road/La Primavera – from Leaning into the Night. It’s a great practice piece for two reasons:  – it strengthens the left hand – for most of the piece the left index has to hold all strings down (bar) while the other fingers move aroundthere is a steady 6/8 pulse that has to be adhered to throughout – difficult to sound relaxed within the pulse (especially with the left index having to work hard)… Might be nice to play this piece with the quartet this summer. Jon, Barrett and I are forming a band, a group, an entity of some kind
