Sudden Increase in "terrible audio" comments on one vid

I thought the video was great. ^^

I think I can hear what they are talking about. I think the audio has too much compression -- it sounds kind of "squished inside a box" and less "vibey"/natural. This happens when dynamic ranges of the instruments are shaved off to make the overall audio sound louder, or to squeeze the sound into a smaller defined audio file size (such converting a WAV file to a smaller MP3 file). All MP3 files have some compression, but sometimes programs overdo it and the exported file becomes too compressed. The orchestra instruments also sound a tiny bit synthesized/fake to my ear, but I think only people who play in orchestras would be able to notice that...

Overall, these things are really minor and don't take away much from the video. I thought it was entertaining, and your scene changes/plot fit well with the music! =)

thanks Katy!
agree with what you said, It's the way flash used to export files, I've recently fixed it now ^^
