Thanks for all this, Aaron.
I get the message:
"You don't have permission to access /AMB/LvB-Sym4-Mvt1.amb on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
But only with the Beethoven files.
My normal method of playing first order is to load B format WXY .wav
files into Samplitude, matrix them and add shelf filters, but I have
not yet successfully discovered how to convert the .amb files to .wav
files. I should be grateful for a few pointers.
