Grr...I got out my work laptop on Thursday and recorded my long-practiced Revolutionary Etude, finally just taking the best of the tries I made. Then I realized that I had not installed the "lame encoder" required to export mp3s. I don't have administrator privileges on the laptop, so I asked my IT guy at work to do it yesterday, but he never made it by. I tried emailing the files to myself and downloading them to my home computer, but that didn't work.
I am going to try to play the recording into my desktop microphone--where I have Audacity and LAME--and see if it sounds good enough to submit. I'm afraid there will be lots of crackles with that really bad set up, but we'll see!

aww shoot!! I was checking out my magic code to listen to my submission and realize I uploaded the wrong file.  I won't be able to access the correct one 'til the morrow. Oh well, the file I intended to use was only marginally better with less tempo issues.

Nancy Nancy, Emailing large files can be a problem. Try uploading your file to mediafire, rapidshare, or megaupload and then downloading to your home computer. If the file is more than 20MB, which it probably is, you can't use box.net. Mel

This will compress it before uploading it. It should result in a much smaller file.

I have to go do sound for a dance right now, but I am *seriously* thinking about splitting at the break so I can come home and watch Monica upload the recital Cathy Oops... I probably saw this too late to help, but those of you used to seeing the recital pieces start being posted shortly after 9:00 may be disappointed tonight.  Hubby is due back from a business trip this evening, and I don't think it will go over well if I say "welcome home, honey; now go leave me alone for two hours."  I was planning on doing most of the recital work after he goes to bed. p.s. to the procrastinators out there, and you know who you are: This doesn't mean you have extra time to submit your pieces. It usually takes about 30 minutes for all the recital pieces to get downloaded onto my computer, which I have to do to make the zip files, so I'm going to start the process right at 9:00 as usual.

Well, I gave it a shot, but the laptop-to-desktop recording was barely audible on the final file. I'll just have to upload it to the November Piano Bar on Monday when my tech guy at work can install LAME. I thought about screaming "PIANO EMERGENCY" to him so he'd move me up on the list, but it might clue him in that I occasionally use my work laptop for personal reasons!

Well, it all worked out - the band was high maintenance so I was there the whole time. There a wonderful band, tho, and the "high maintenance" is because they switch instruments, not because they're prima donnas So I'm watching the last of the recital being loaded - Cathy
