Hi Henni

I know you are good at this kind of thing, and I have a project I can use your expertise on. I am on a learning digital piano kick, and learning solo piano quite well using the chord method. However, there are times that I prefer a stripped down backing track. I could use a midi file and mute the unwanted parts. The problem with that is that the sound quality from my laptop is not the best unless I add a sound module. There is no question that MP3 will allow me superior sound without increasing my baggage.

You say to send you a midi file with the expectations of the finished product. One question is: To what degree of manipulation is required? For example,say I send you a midi, as is, and tell you I want the bass, drums, and guitar in a certain key?. What degree of readiness do you require? I have midi software programs that erase unwanted tracks, but some keyboard use a subset, which doesn't alter the actual midi file.

What would you suggest for me?
