difference?

James wrote: Learnéd = scholarly

Got it.

It's used in US English as well, Rob. 

Rico, it does not always mean Scholarly either though.  It is often used in a court of law.

The learnéd man...

For instance.

An excellent introduction to the poem and its interpretations is Tolkien's essay "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics".

Yes, the programme I watched went into the elements of historical fact.  The Anglo-Saxon Longboat burial at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia, the elements of Pagan and Christian beliefs and a few other things as well.

However, there are elements of folklore in Beowulf still though.  Grendel and his mother are sort of folklore elements themselves.  Plus Beowulf slays a Dragon at the end of the poem.  Dragons are most certainly a folklore element.

Plus the tale could be perfectly turned into a ballad song, thus folklore.

Dragons are a mythical element more than a strictly folkloric one. Of course, the difference is not a huge one, though myth generally relates to cosmogony (the creation and organisation of the world), and therefore has to religion. Beowulf is rooted in Northern European culture (so, not only history, but also mythology), and dragons feature quite prominently in Norse myths.

5 hours with no posts? Wow.

Still, if it's just slammed under the guitars, sometimes, that'd explain it. Anyway, I'll try your suggested thing if I can work out how to get that to work.

But it isn't under mixed though.
I have studio monitors, which are designed to be as flat as possible across the frequency range and listening through them reveal that if there was any more bass, it would sound muddy. It cannot possibly be undermixed if it would sound muddy if more bass were added.

I'm guessing so you can go see PoS and Zappa Plays Zappa.

No, no, no. And btw harry, this be mike, new username !
