Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I have a question for Dave or anyone else who might be able to help. I've been working on re-mixing one of my songs to contribute to the CD. As per the instructions on the web page, I converted the song to the "wav" format, but it seems that the sound quality suffers quite a bit after the conversion. The MP3 version sounds much better. Is this normal? |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I have a Tascam digital 8 track recorder / mixer which saves to an internal hard drive. I'm not sure what format that is. I use an external CD burner to make the discs which end up in "CD Audio" format. I was just saving the files from the cd on to my computer. My recorder can be connected to the computer with a USB cable. I just haven't had the time to mess with it. Maybe I'll give that a try. |

Location: closely held secret | "CD Audio" is wav format. If you save them as mp3 to your computer than that explains why they don't sound as good when you convert them to wav. They've been compressed to mp3 then reconverted, losing audio quality every step.
Try ripping them from the CD straight to wav on your computer - or just send the CD you burn to Dave.
The USB connection may allow you to transfer them to your computer as wav format. |

I've had mails from quite a few people (OK, it was only 5) asking (err, complaining) about not being able to submit copywritten cover tunes. SO HERE IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. PAY ATTENTION Y'ALL ...
I would PREFER that you submit originals or public domain stuff, but you are more than welcome to submit cover tunes. I'LL handle the license stuff and I'LL pay the fees. We'll spread it all out over the price of the CD's. So, expect the CD's to cost a few bucks more than last year.
BUT ... if y'all submit TOO MANY cover tunes, the price of the CD is going to be too expensive to be viable. So I'm going to hafta walk a fine line to keep this thing reasonably priced. For this reason I would like to give preference to originals or pubdom stuff, but I also want the quality to be good. So we'll see.
OK ??? So, start recording and get me something to work with. LASTLY - the cut off for submissions is NOV. 1ST if we want to get this thing done and distributed in time for xmas season. I'll keep you posted on how it's going.

Location: Phoenix AZ | Cliff,
The story line of trying to please all of the people some of the time goes like this ... I (as executive producer and content gatekeeper) would personally love to do a "holiday" CD ... Some members complained that is too restrictive and would like to submit non-holiday originals. Fine ... Others claim that they are not composers but would like to submit cover tunes, but they don't want to hastle with the paperwork and fees. Fine, I'll do it.
So bottom line, submit whatever the hell you want to. But when I put this thing together I'll definately try to give preference to originals and holiday stuff just to keep costs and hastle (for me) to a minimum.
So far I have exactly FOUR submissions (plus probably 2 from myself which still need to be recorded). CUT OFF IS NOV. 1st, so please get going or this project will never fly.
