Well, shoot.  I thought that was you guys playing. 

Guess I'll take my tin ear and go do something else.

Lemme 'splain it to you, since you were so nice to me by beating me about the head and shoulders about the filefreak thing.  :tazeme:

What you heard is a SYNTHESIZED mp3 made directly from the score's software. IOW, you didn't hear PEOPLE performing, you heard ones and zeros performing!

I use Finale 2011. This notation software has the capability of taking your score, putting a somewhat-similar digitized "voice" to each of your "instruments" in your score, taking the tempo that YOU assigned to it, and then playing it. You can create .wav or .mp3 files with it as well.

So you didn't hear any tempos dragging. And you didn't hear any chords overriding the melody, unless you had your damn speakers turned up too loud!

(In fairness, the software reacts also to dynamics embedded within.)

 :lmao:

I can't replay it right now as "Inga" is sleeping. But I'm pretty sure that the first part, from the intro to the change seemed slower (as in "dragging") than from the change to the end.  I was THINKING it was synthesized, but there were a couple of places that were good enough that made me wonder.

BTW, nice website!! (Probably better than I can do)  Also, I MUST take exception to the Treble Clef mouseover........

Yeah, I thought Andrew did a helluva job - it was his first website he'd ever done, so it was a practice thing for him. But he done good!

Well as there are 3 guys in HB who do the treble clef thing, Larry and I were outvoted.  :banghead:

I hope to have a viable recording of H50 in the next couple of weeks or so. I have a local sound engineer to come in and actually spin the knobs and such for us. I'm sure he'll do far, far better than I can do.

No recording yet - won't have that for a couple-few weeks yet. I tried posting a copy of the mp3 of the score but it exceeds the 650 kb max.

Is there someplace on the innerwebz I can post an mp3 and link it? I've done the photobucket thing a few dozen times, but that works only with .jpg and similar photo-type files.

 :o

I did mention that we haven't recorded this piece yet - this is reply #4 in the thread.

Sorry, guys, but I did 'fess up at the start of this whole thing.

You did. That synthesizer does a good job at emulating SOME brass instruments. I guess that means "kudos" to your synthesizer.
