The track has issues in it's unprocessed form. That's why I asked for

suggestions on what to do to clean it up and bring out the sound. If you

brought out.

synthesised/generative piece. I was figuring that a bunch of hardened

Linux Audio peeps would be a receptive audience and possibly enjoy the

challenge of bringing out the sounds that are hidden in the track.
