Has a robotic sound, why is that? Does sound as good as the original

[Photosounder]

@teacee well, some parts of the sound are lost in the process, some others don't belond there. There are limitations to sound isolation, no matter how you do it, and depending on what you do it can be hard to obtain a satisfactory result. I picked a pretty busy mix to try to show the limits of what can be done.

@Photosounder It's not just that lossless is off? How does it sound with it on? On the demo I find everything sounds like a low bitrate mp3 with lossless off.

[Photosounder]

@DrEMplushrest what are you referring to? The lossless mode is always on in this particular tutorial.

What's happened to the long steady note played early in the phrase? In the original mix, you distinctly hear the horn player holding it at constant volume, while in the result, it fades in and out rapidly, and you see that the set of horizontal lines corresponding to that sound is more like dotted lines in the filtered version. The FILTER should be 100% open (white!) for all harmonics of a note when this note is played, no matter how loudly or softly, to keep its original dynamics.

a yeah 40 days!

hii, i viewed this tutorial, and the explanations. So, in short, i need to have the harmonics modifier on with the road roller spray tool, with 100% intensity, draw them across the yellow lines? make them fit in the yellow lines?

How do you find out the bass freqency and the first harmonics? Where do you start drawing them? I tried running them through, and played with invert but it makes a very harsh rusty noise, with no instrumental sounds at all Oo..Do you know what did i do wrong?
