Sometimes the psychologically effect does help, but in general this is a
mistake.

Drawing a picture large and making it smaller for the release usually is
better than drawing a picture small and enlarge it for the release.

 For my instrument parts reverb or echo multiplies the tiniest of 
 mistakes and therefore I concentrate a lot harder on not making them

That does only work, if you are within one scale, your music is based
much on clock of keys. If not, the result likely is terrible, reverb or
feedback delays could be disastrous.

G'day Ralf,

Thanks for setting me straight. I've been making the same mistakes for 
over 20 years and now I know why everyone I've recorded (including 
myself) has sounded like crap.


I've learned the error of my ways and won't make the same mistake again 
(posting on this list). I'll now go back to lurking and watch you 
continue to tell everyone else who dares post on the list that they are 
wrong too.


*moron*

Brad.
