Oh say, what can you see...out your window? (prefight)

I used Impulse Tracker for several of my early entries (and would painstakingly either cut my vocals up into samples, or try mixing them in later in CoolEdit). I don't miss those days, really. I think Husky Youth is the last one I did that way.

Yeah trackers can be a pain in the arse but it forces a different way of thinking about the song, which can be good. Nitro tracker can record samples from the ds microphone so I could have done the vocals too but it would have sounded terrible. It's a cool peice of kit and I've spent many bored afternoons creating whole songs just humming the instruments and tapping things for drums.

I'm in. I never seem to be able to push the volume too high without killing the dynamics, so I just get it as high as I can and try to stop it just before it turns to absolute crap. So be sure to turn up the volume if you listen to mine.
.......plus, this song is designed to be listened to loud.

Well, I feel stupid now. I wrote, recorded, and submitted a song called 'All We Saw At The Window'

It was inspired by the title, of course, but I neglected to double check what that title was. I'm not going to fix it and resend, though, because that would be retarded.

Weird, I did too, except I remembered to change the title when I submitted it. The lyrics still say "all we saw at the window" though.

Crap..i did the same! I was too concerned with remembering it was 'at' and not 'out' or 'through'. Ah well, slap on the wrist for me...

Well this sucks.

I did a song for this - but when I sent it last night, it didn't go anywhere because the stupid webmail service I have been using the last few weeks has an attachment size limit of 2MB.

I suppose I am late now - but I am trying to send it now using my dial up service - but I think it may have the same problem. Stupid New Zealand. Why does it take 3 weeks to get broadband connected?

Ray: check out yahoo.com -- you can sign up for a free mail account with unlimited storage, and a 10MB limit for attachments. Even if you don't use it for anything but sending mp3s, it might be worth having one.

Also, Google's Gmail is pretty good. It does have a storage limit, but it's like 6800MB and it allows a 20MB attachment size.
But I think CR's problem is dial up at the moment, until he gets his broadband.

I went through file-size problems with my provider, as well. For me, at least, that "file size" limit is based on the size of the ascii-encoded size of the song, not the mp3 file size... I had a 4mb file that got rejected even though the limit was supposed to be 5 mb (limit has since been raised to 10mb).

Okay, fixed as of 8:10 a.m. Oops, wrong thread...

I could be wrong, but also I think that if the recipient of the emailed file you're sending doesn't have a service that can receive the large file, it will bounce.

Um... my song isn't there...
