I also have this posted on the General Arranger Forum. Some of the people there are getting some distortion. One is getting it on all songs. Some say its fine as is. Some say some of the songs are distorted.

Anybody here getting that?

Also, first of all I'd like to thank everyone for helping me out on this new venture. I guess there's a first time for everything. haha
First thing I guess I need to do is get the left channel on my stereo system that I use with my computer working.

I thought I'd leave that issue alone til last, thinking that if it sounded good coming through just the right speaker that it was probably ok. So I'm going to dig around and see what has happened.

Jen just built me a new computer and somewhere along the line something must have just gotten disconnected.

I presume unlike my first attempts that the volume is ok now? I got some comments on the first tests that it could have been louder.

I used Magix Audio Cleaning Lab to do the recording at 16 bits figuring that if I didn't do any editing that it would sound just like what was really coming out of my keyboard.

I didn't do any editing, BTW, whatever compression etc I had set in the Tyros is what I got.

I don't know if I used the Magix program to create the mp3's or if it was Music Match 4, the free, near CD quality version.

I was originally going to use my Sound Forge 5.0, the expensive one, and record at 24/96 and then lower it back down to 16 bits. I understand at least some people can hear a subtle improvement in the tone doing it that way. But, so far we have not been able to hook up my Mia sound card to do it. So I thought the way I did it ought to be fine for know. What thoughts do you guys have on this?

As far as the 96 and 128 stuff, I am not sure how I arrived at that. I guess I just recorded at what ever rate came up or was available.

Everything on the site was recorded using my Tyros and the Magix program. The Off The Cuff Jam was recorded a couple of years ago using my Technics KN1000. I do not remember if I used Magix, Sound Forge or what.

Again, thanks for helping me on this one. I'll be glad when I finally get it all down. It's suprising to see just how much time it actually takes to learn and do all of this stuff. Cheez!!

Best
