turn down the treble. make sure that your sound is wide and covers the bell
curve. compare your harsh sounds to those used by Ae and Speedy J [among
others]- they get it right, it's industrial- but never harsh [well,
relatively speaking of course].
grab a copy of "how to make professional mixes" and read it through. The
manual that comes with the fin****er 96k is a great read. I might be able to
email it to someone if you are interested, I don't think it is too big. Use
your own ear to judge what is harsh, and why. Make people listen to it and
see if they cringe in pain... =)))
~That said, I do often worry that I'm going to get some kind of hearing
~damage from ultra high frequencies or some other kind of
~destructive audio
~signal from some of these noisier IDM groups (or even myself) that may
~have little idea of how to filter such things. I'd be
~interested in any
~insight regarding possible hearing damage from listening to amateurish
~digital music on headphones.
