Location: Tennessee | Yup ... I sent you an mp3 yesterday just in case it sucked so bad there was no reason to kill 38mb of electrons. The one I tried to send today was a .wav file. They are both from the same mix/master file. |

Location: NJ | There's an .mp3 of mine on my webpage, but the .wav that went to Dave for the CD sounds a helluva lot better . . .
Evidently, the version of Cubase that I purchased came with a limited number (like 20) of times you could rip a Cubase file to an .mp3.
I used my "last" one for this tune.
Naturally, Steinberger now wants me to purchase the ".mp3 translator" from them.
Anyone know of a viable alternative?? |

I'm really just looking for a software alternative for ripping to .mp3 . . . |

Location: Utah | For MP3 conversion I use a free program called Switch Sound File Converter that you can download for free. It seems to work just fine. I have no idea if there is a difference in quality of MP3 conversion, but I have no complaints about this program so far. |

Location: Tennessee | I'll take a Corona to go with the pair of chairs, Cliff. Very nicely done. Lots of textures. Ms J must have melted.
As for mp3s, I just import the tune into iTunes as an mp3 at the highest res setting and then go into the folder and grab it. I capture all the the info about the song in iTunes before I import. Files are between 5 and 6 megs. |

Open your WAV file with Audacity, then Export it as MP3. Hit "Options" to tweak the bitrate, etc. Very straightforward.
You can download Audacity for Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix.
An mp3 is only as good as its encoder. The iTunes encoder is not well-thought of. LAME is. |

I posted my beach tune to my myspace page. It's called "Carmelo". It should be the top song on the player. Go here: http://www.myspace.com/stonebobborocks
edited and fixed. Thx Randy |

Heading to your site and Bobbo's to check out the tunes :D |

Location: Central Massachusetts | For Mac users, there's a LAME iTunes plugin so you get the better quality and keep it easy. Unfortunately not an option for the Windows version of iTunes.
Didn't mean to step on any toes, Bobbo! Most of my MP3's are ripped via the iTunes encoder as well. And by modern standards, at lower bitrates to boot. They're fine for my tin ears. :p |

So do you actually play the flute or was that the keyboards?
I need to set up a site like Bobbo or you or some of the others that I have seen/listened to so that I can have a place to dump my stuff. |

The flutes're "me".
The "darker" ones at the beginning is my old Armstrong nickle-plated. It's kinda' like playing a piece of plumbing,
but it's got a cool, "breath-y" sound.
In the middle, I added Jeanette's silver-plated. Brighter, and . . . well, "silver-y".
(btw, the "ocean" sounds're from Jeanette's SharperImage "sound machine".)
The site is on Yahoo. Easy/Cheap.
Haven't heard Boobo's, yet.
Can't do MySpace here . . . |
