Re: New Revolution Renaissance Demos
sorry for my lack of expression, i already heard dthe demos a few times, but what i really miss, is the solo duets, that rampage of solos between the guitar and the keys. The new songs, like a i said before, are too similar to songs in 'new era'. Also 'Loneliness' starts with the same keyboard of a...

Re: Mixing and Mastering
It's true that often music isn't mixed or mastered (or both) well enough. I have always enjoyed the fact how Stratosongs have been mixed. I hope it remains as good :) Also Sabaton's newest album has been mixed damn well I think! Cranberries' albums are pretty well mixed too :) That video's pretty go...

Re: Koskettimet
Ohoh, on vähän vaihtunut soittimet. Nykyään on tosiaan seuraavanlainen setti:
Yamaha DX7
M-Audio Keystation 88ES
Roland SonicCell
Edit: Lisäksi tuli Roland JV-1010 orchestral-lisäkortilla, jotta kelpaa Stratoa soitella
Nyt alkaa olla ihan tyytyväinen settiin

This is for whoever controls Strato's myspace. Call me nitpicky but I am bothered every time I look at the "Label" because it says Sranctuary
It won't bother me if its on purpose but anyway. So is it just a typographic error?

Nissan Altima? 
Here in Finland gas costs about 3$ per litre. And if a gallon is around 4 litres it would be 12$ a gallon. And the price is rising at a vast speed. It is even rumoured that the price of gas will rise to almost 4$ per litre within a year.
