Magic, THANK YOU for posting something. I was beginning to think that most owners
didn't even switch the things on! (or at least hadn't figured out where the 'Record' button is!)
Unfortunately, the esnips player is not compatible with my Mac OS, for some reason.
Is there anywhere I can simply download this from?
If you want to defeat the 'mp3' argument as well (as spurious as it is), I have broadband
and would be happy to download a .WAV 16/44 (or 24/96 if you want to!). Personally, I don't think it makes enough difference
to the original to be worthwhile for general listening and evaluation (and the iTunes Store seems to have several million users that agree!).
But it's up to you... I'm OK with any format you want.
I am SO happy that at least ONE 'open' arranger user is willing to step up to the 'penalty spot'
(or plate, for the US readers!) and allow us to hear what they've done. As vocal as most of the users are,
they are the least represented with examples. Hopefully, this will start a trend.
As to liking it or not, trust me, I can assure you I will be as objective to it's sound as I am to every other arranger
(including mine
). I am not so petty as to hold it to a higher standard than anything else
Would you be so kind as to give some details to it's creation, as well..?
Are they stock sounds, is it a custom style (is it style play at all?!), is it played live, or multi-tracked,
what VSTi's used, what OS, etc.?
The thing about 'open' arrangers is that so many different ways of achieving a piece of music are possible,
it helps the listener (especially us here at SZ) understand the process, and evaluate the sound, better.
I look forward to hearing it.... (really!)
