Just an update of the Todos Somos Arizona July 29th civil disobedience soundscape. The original sounded fine on the computer speakers where I mixed it, but when I played it at H’s party, I was a bit horrified at how loud and rumbly the helicopters were on a pair of speakers that actually had some bass response. So I tweaked the mix a little: presenting the Todos Somos July 29th action soundscape remix, now with less helicopter [mp3]. If you play it on computer speakers or headphones, it won’t sound any different, but if you have a big stereo with good speakers or maybe a good subwoofer, it should be much less anxiety producing now! The sound quality is still all iPhone though. Maybe I’ll get my hands on a good digital recorder for the next time.
