OK, for those who like this sort of thing, here are two tracks of totally
different recordings of the same piece of music:

http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Jazztrack02.mp3


A number of factors separate them, not the least of which is the passage of
more than a decade!

Comments are invited and, although there is no competition, a preference is
always of interest...???

Enjoy!

Chalk and cheese.

01 is raw, not too well recorded, a bit loose-rhythmed.

02 is clean, tight, analytical, perfectly on the beat.

01 wins by a mile.

Thought they both sounded fine. On closer listening (A-B type thing)
they sound like they're using different instruments. Much prefer 1 -
clear and more detail. Perhaps a little edgy, but as I would imagine
it's supposed to sound.

How do you keep track of what you use for these recordings?! I was
playing some music last night through the cd recorder's hard disk and it
sounded a fair bit better than what I'm using right now - buggered if I
could remember what I used to record it! Could just label the tracks
mumble to self next time.

Pitch (key) is identical
Version 1 is 2m10s and the tempo sounds correct, until one
listens to version2 (2m01s)

Then v1 sounds "plodding" with v2 at a good "marching band" tempo.

'Do I get a coconut, (I already have a goldfish in a small
plastic bag) if I can name the track? :-))

For the *first time ever* these are not my recordings!! (I'm breaking them
in for a friend!)

Oh yes, very often I find myself looking at a filename like this:

pioneer518shureV15landersonstrangeangelstrack03tak e01.wav !! :-)
