The idea of putting samples (whole songs?) on t.s.e is good. I can throw my own stuff up there pretty easily.. although does anyone out there have a XingSound MPEG audio encoder or some such? the quality is quite good, there's software playback on lots of systems, and the compression is fantastic (10:1 with little loss). there's always ADPCM too (4:1) but it's not as widely supported. of course there's the ever popular 8khz u-law .AUs (yuk!) that are all over the site already. i've definitely got a track to contribute, but i don't have a clue _what_ track it would be currently. certainly not a gabber track ;-) it might be a good idea to do it a first time around on tape, then see how that works out and try a CD. getting a cd organized and then pressed is alot more work (and $$$) then a simple nicely done tape compilation. - DanN /~~~\ |~~~~\ |~~||~~~~~~| |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | o | | o || ||__ __| | DanN = moddan@vlad.bowker.com | \ / /~~~\ | / | | | | | t23@cyberspace.com | / \ | O || \ | | | | | Transmission 23 - FTZ - edrone | | O | \___/ | O || | | | |____________________________________| \___/ C O L L|____/E|__|C |__|T I V E \*\ \*\
