Well, thank you for all the suggestions about storage...

We may have a problem, though, with the free storage sites. If you allow for my rough estimate on file size, and let's be generous, to allow for long intros and endings, slower tempo styles, etc., and say at MOST, they would be 1MB each. Now 300 styles would take up 300MB (although I think 200MB is a more real-world estimate). Now that's just ONE arranger! So you have to multiply that by the number of arrangers recorded. Let's examine that...

I would say for this to be of use, most of the main TOTL and midline arrangers need representing, so my list would probably run;

Tyros2
S900
PA800 (unless they are identical with PA2X)
PA2X
PA1X (that's what most of the converted Korg styles are from, so far)
G70
E80
SD-1 (is SD-5 essentially the same styles?)

Have I missed anything major? So that's maybe seven arrangers, maybe six if S900 is close to identical to T2, maybe five if E80 and G70 can be combined (though there are drumkit differences) Let's say six...

Six arrangers, at 300MB each, that's 1.8GB. so let's call it 2GB rough estimate. That's how much hosting size we need... at a minimum. Can Arranger-world host that much data? Strangely, I mentioned this project to createsongstyles.com, the site which was originally created exactly for the purpose of style creation and conversion, but the admin seemed uninterested. Oh well...

Anyway, thanks for showing some interest. Now let's get down to the nitty gritty... plenty of responses about hosting it, but no volunteers for the recording side of things, yet...

So, would anyone be interested in helping on the recording side of things? Obviously, the more volunteers we get, the less each individual would have to do. You could either post here, or email me privately (my profile is correct). I would NOT like to start until I'm fairly sure we could complete the project... it would not be NEARLY as useful if it were simply just a few styles, from a couple of arrangers. Comprehensiveness would be the only thing to make it REALLY useful (everyone has different style and conversion needs).

So.... volunteers needed, but the work won't start until I'm sure we can complete the job, AND we have a site that can host the files for quite some time.

Let's make this happen!
