Composition Challenge #2 "Drone"

spark240

Oops. ..yes I meant to do that , thanks.

LastMantra

I've submitted mine but I couldn't convert it to MP3 so had to download a freebie converter which I'm not really happy with.

Maybe we could just submit a SC link or something?

If your not able to convert it yourself you can always send me the file and I can convert it.

I've e-mailed you an MP3, converted with the freebie converter, but to my ears it sounds poor (not that it sounded great in the first place).

Antique_Guitars

Ok can you just confirm you sent the email to fretboardchallenge@Gmail.com. ?

As I have not received as yet and I have received all the other submissions so far.

Also if you want to send me the original track I can try and convert at a higher simple rate if you like?

LastMantra

Hmmm. Yeah, you sure it's not there? I'll try again. :-?

LastMantra

I've tried again with the original WAV.

Might take a moment!

Antique_Guitars

Hmm still haven't got it how big is the file?

LastMantra

27MB. The MP3 was about 2MB.

@LastMantra you can download Audacity for free - you'll have to also download the LAME mp3 converter (also free) - and convert to high quality mp3.

Thanks. Yeah I can render them straight to MP3 from Reaper but I have to download that LAME thing. My music computer with Reaper on it isn't connected to the internet so I was just trying to save time as I'm in a bit of a rush.

If you don't get it you don't get it I'll sort things out for the next time. 

Fazer

can you attach a 27mb file in gmail?
i cant

i export from the daw as a wav, and then use lamexp and a simple and good quality mp3

Do we have a Fretboard Challenge SoundCloud account yet? You could upload/download directly to/from that.

LastMantra

Ah - you have your own SoundCloud - set the track to download enabled and Sheldon can download it from there!

[edit]
Oooh - I like that.

Gotcha!

LastMantra

Too much hassle for Sheldon though?

Antique_Guitars

We have had a sound cloud page for a few months :-) just haven't uploaded anything yet.

Cool cheers for the link I will download it later :-)

Antique_Guitars

I will upload to you tube and sound cloud but only when all entries are in, the fair way :-)
