This is the cost of new technology that allows us to replace
sound engineers, secretaries and so forth: less work for them,
and more tedious work for us; instead of playing or getting on with
our essential work.
But as most members on the list do now make their own recordings,
your experience will help others spend a little less time, in initial
experiments.
This Waiv recording, as expected, shows that the non-compressed (or
less compressed) format is superior, but most of us knew that).
Or is this compressed by David, from your uncompressed waiv file? If
that is the case, David has done an even more fantastic job than usual.

I'm really sorry if all this recording-reverb discussion is
boring some
of you - it usually bores me, so I apologise. Hopefully it will
only
last another couple of days, but I have learned a lot in the
last 24
hours. Davis Taylor, our resident recording maestro, has put my mp3
through a pair of very expensive reverbs, the (wonderful)
results of
which can be found at the bottom of the page:

However, David said it would be better if he could work from a
wav file
instead of an mp3. So, [2]http://www.songoftherose.co.uk/test2 is a
page devoted to the Prelude in Dm by de Visee. At the bottom of the
page is the wav file (11MB, so only click it if you have good
broadband). If anyone wants to play with that, please do. I'd
like to
hear your results as mp3 files. David will be uploading his in due
course.
Before that is a number of versions of another performance of
the same
piece, some at 2 feet distance, some at 2 metres. I don't think
the 2
metres versions are useable at all. My favourite is the Glaceverb
Vocal6 (thanks to Tony Chalkley for suggesting the free Glaceverb).
Your thoughts most welcome.
