I don't feel like learning (stubborn) how to convert my stuff for posting on the net, but if anyone is interested, I'll send you a CD of my last few commercials done on the VF80. Let's say the first 5 people who are interested, just email me your address, and put "FOSTEX CD" in the subject line.

I have to warn you. My commercials are all religious/public affairs based, just to let you know...

Bill: I'll be honored to hear your CD, and the content you describe is fine with me. I too am stubborn on this posting to the net business, but my stubborness is an insistence on finding out exactly how to do it, no matter how long it takes, and I'm getting a little better informed every day. I'm hoping that in a month or less I'll know exactly how to painlessly post from the vf80 to the net, by passing the CD burner, and in 2 different formats.

If I succeed in this, I'll be crowing about it here and will offer to show you as recompense for the many good tips you have already thrown my way. I think it's something we all need to know how to do anyway. Sooner or later, someone will ask you to send them a quick mp3. Deal?
 
Bill and others.

There was a very instructive thread on one of the other fora recently about the perceived aural difference between an mp3 and a 16/44.1 or CD quality file. The bottom line, when you take into account the overwhelming importance of deficiencies in quality at the listener's end, was it's about nothing.

In other words good music, well produced sound, will - and has to be able to - withstand all sorts of mangling, generally much worse than the mp3 process inflicts.

So Bill I feel you should rethink your reluctance to convert yor babies to mp3. Why not just do it on your PC and listen, see how you feel b4 you upload them.

Anyway, just my 2p.
 
You are right...

You ARE right of course, but I would say this... When I master for a radio commercial, I have to take into account the speakers people are likely to have, not the ones I'd LIKE them to have. Two of my spots are basic voiceover on a background music bed, and as such would be OK on MP3 (not great but certainly OK). However, the latest thing I have uses a tekno approach where the bass lines run WAY down around 20 to 40hz. I've played this through my own lousy computer speakers and while it still "works", it's like looking at a nice landscape through a dirty porthole glass.

But anyway, while I will convert and upload onto an accessible site (probably get my son to do it for me!) I will also send anyone who wants one a CD via snail mail.

I'm not trying to be ornery, and I do appreciate the suggestions. That's what makes this board so great. Thanks.
 
I received the commercials, listened, and I am impressed. Of course, you know me I was impressed with the message of them, but also this is highly professional work. I hope you are getting paid for doing this.
I just wished I talked like you. If I did something like that I would sound like a complete hick with my southern drawl.
Again, awesome work.
 
Thanks!!

Thanks for the encouraging words. Actually, no, I'm not getting paid -- it's a labor of love. But it's also a lot of fun too!

Well, you might not get paid in money, but I'm sure you will be blessed.
