Can I play, Lasse? Can I play???? [ducking.......] <gg>
(softly singing)... 'Nobody knows the trouble I've seen'.....'Swing low, sweet char-i-o-ot; coming for to carry me home...' (Prison/Inmate songs, harmonica brandished)-- a/D DogHouse Dogma. Been there, done that. Oh Ye of little faith, Lasse!!!! Since you're terribly afraid of me, could I ask Roberto if it's 'ok' to take the test? (I am a very very nice person. Rjamorim, have you (umm.....) 'forgiven' me yet for being a total toadstool? (I hope so). Lasse doesn't say very much to me anymore, even though I think the world of him. Just wondering. -- Your a/D friend, Mike.
lol
(Hmmmmm)..... I guess 'teasing' him won't do any good, Chris. (Oh, he 'sees' me alright). I need to dangle a carrot on the end of the stick or something. I've never actually gone "fishing for a mod" before -- maybe it just takes the right bait or something (??) (Nah..... too much to do at home here right now.) Maybe later. :=)
I am supprised that they did not stick a sample where the are voices in stereo (seperate voices on left & right), e.g. a Billy Joel song. Most codecs handle instruments very well these days with one singer, but can really make a mess of multiple singers particularily seperated from left to right, e.g. WMA9 2-pass VBR on Billy Joel - The River of Dreams.
