I was keen to listen as I'm interested in Foster, but couldn't get the MP3 file to work on Real Player - so let us know when it's on soundclick.

Hi Adrian,

I put it on Soundclick last night. It has quite a few changes from the one posted above, which was the .not file. I don't know how mp3 comes up in the download box.

all best,

Good - had a listen to it. Some interesting harmonies. I think it would benefit from some better sound samples - like East West VSTs. Maybe worth checking these out.

thanks

Hi Adrian,

I think you're right. The best I can get with my Audigy 2 ZS is the Merlin soundfonts created especially for Soundblaster. The card has never worked right, anyhow. It's supposed to have two synths, but A and B, if I want to go beyond 16 channels, will lock up the computer. I think it has something to do with the 4GB of memory. At least, the old card worked well with a computer with less than 1MB of memory.

I wish I had the time to investigate VSTs, but I don't really have near the time I'd like to write music. I figure I'd better concentrate on that, and the sound can be taken care of when that later full of leisure arrives.

Your symphony sits on my desk top (the mp3) and I find it quite remarkable--one of those things worth listening to numerous times.

all best,
mgj

thanks so much for listening to my music.

I is a big step to move into the VSTs with a sequencer like cubase and the initial set-up costs around $700, but I have to say that hearing my music (almost) properly has been a big help to me. And if you ever decide to go down that route, I can offer a lot of help in how to get started.

cheers

adrian.
