[Dixielandjazz] Mp3 Jazz File

[Bill Gunter]

Hi Marty,

Thanks for sending the China Boy mp3.

I thought the band sounded really hot and I really enjoyed the trumpet!

There were some problems with the mp3 file you sent, however.

1. It was not in stereo and it was only on one channel (right). Listening on 
stereo headphones with sound only in one ear is disconcerting.

2. It was over 15 minutes long although the tune itself only lasted for 
about four and a half minutes.

In order to make it listenable and manageable I had to do a couple of 
things.  First I had to convert the mp3 file you sent to a wav file (which 
tuned out to be 150 megabytes long!). Then, I had to put the wav file into a 
sound editor and copy the right channel onto the empty left channel. This 
gave me sound in both ears and although it wasn't stereo, it was mixed well 
and all the instruments came over clean and they sounded good.

Then I had to chop off the empty ten minutes of nothing and shorten the wav 
file to just the music - the four and a half minutes of sound.

Then I had to convert the new wave file back into an mp3 file which was only 
a little over 4 MB long and which is entirely manageable on e-mail. If you 
had similar files for the other tracks you could have attached several of 
them to one e-mail.

Anyway, I have the doctored up mp3 file - monoral but for both ears on 
headphone listening - and the only thing on it is the tune (China Boy).

I'll send it to you in a private posting. We shouldn't send messages with 
attachments to the list . . . that's a no - no! Just ask list administrator 
Bob Ringwald.

I'll also send you one of my mp3 files in return.

Thanks, Marty,

Bill Gunter
