Gary, I just listened to "Beyond the Sea"
and you did a first class job.
The only constructive criticism I can give,
is that the "s" and "sh" sounds might be
modified. Perhaps some EQ or De-essing could help.

Vquester,

Thanks, I guess I didn't notice it, but I should be able to take care of the problem with some minor EQ changes as your suggested.

Thanks again,

Gary

Tony... It doesn't look like I will be able to make it down there this time around. I'm gonna have to take a rain check.

What is the date of the proposed trip to Cozumel?

Don,

I'm gonna' be there the week of October 17. It's a great way to celebrate my 65th birthday.

Hi Gary

I think your recordings came across rather well.

You mention an interesting point regarding the bit rate of the recording and the download time that I pondered for a quite a while.

I decided that if someone was actually interested enough to listen to my demos and they had a slow computer, that they would wait for a slightly longer download if needed.

I noticed a rather major difference between the quality of a low vs a higher bit rate in sound. I also heard some of my demos on another musicians computer/speaker system. His speaker system was not that great, it needed all the help it could get. I felt that to me it was more important to let people get as high a quality of sound as possible when listening to my variety of songs mostly because a lot of people don't even know that one person can sound like that and wanted as rich a sound as I reasonably could get. That's also the reason most of my demos are short having the few full length tunes marked with an asterisk.

I did find that to get the very best sound I first recorded at the higher rates of 24/48 and 24/96. Then without any editing I lowered it down to 16 bits. That alone did make a noticeable difference in the tone quality as it allowed more data to be included after I lowered it to 16 rather than just recording at 16.

I also noticed that most online demos that I heard that also sounded good to me were done at least at 192 k-bits for the mp3. I decided to go up one notch higher to make it a little better and not really affect the download time.

Just my current slant on it for my purposes.

Anyway, thanx for sharing your efforts with us.

Best
Scott
