Starkey Question

Someone told me that Starkey makes classical music under another name. Does anyone know if this is true? And if so do you know where i can hear any? I'm curious cos i seriously rate starkey and loved the album.

LAYERING

When you're layering sounds, for example snares, do you treat each snare differently when mixing the track, or do you treat them all together? So do you EQ them etc separately, or do you just send all the snares to the same mixer channel?

Gameboy / computer game sounds

Does anyone know any good sample packs or maybe plugins for getting those classic synthy gameboy sounds?

I'm talking about those really old skool computer game sounds, the kind that crystal castles use. ( www.myspace.com/crystalcastles )

Thanks for all the advice guys, i followed it - at least the parts i understood, and it sounds better.

But still as soon as i export the track it sounds shit and flat. What can i do to make the exported version sound exactly like it does when its still in the sequencer? (I'm using FL studio)

Ive gotta say, i just spent about half an hour listening to all your tracks in a row. Really feeling the more chilled out dubstep stuff, and i'm not normally a fan of dnb/breaks but i really enjoyed a lot of them too, especially that one in 6/8. You've got a really nice style and youve definitely go...

If you listen to the tune, when the bass drops in there isnt much punch. How do i get the dynamics (which are there in FL studio while im working on the song) to come out in the mix. And im sure its compression, but what do i need to do in terms of compression to get the dynamics back?
