They do both mono and stereo. Stereo files span over two channels. Think that was intentional for doing surround multi-channel work.

Erm, listened again cron, still really enjoyed.

Thanks chaps. People listening to something of mine more than once is probably a personal record.

Still worried about that phase issue. Try putting the track through KTGranulator or (I think) any plug which accepts stereo input but processes in mono. Half of it should vanish. Don't know if it's possible for that to happen on a stereo, but I'd rather not take the chance.

Does anybody know a way to fix this other than going back and using mono input from the radio?

Invert the phase on one channel and see what you get?

Cheers guys. Just tried the inverting one channel trick. It worked with the cancelling problem, but it also killed all the stereo depth. Sounds silly, but I forgot the output of the radio would be mono if the problem wasn't there

. Next mixdown I'll use a Haas delay to deliberately empasise it. Should sort it out.

Thanks again.

Dare I ask if anyone else fancies a listen?

P.S. I really wanna check out the rest of your stuff...
Noticed that only the one track - Shortwave - was availiable on the link you listed... have you got a page somewhere with more?

Cheers for the extra comments, thought this had died.

No more stuff from me (that I'm happy with) at the moment g666, but I'm hoping to start writing again after I've got all my coursework in on the 16th of May. I've decided to hand this in for my electroacoustic music project. I couldn't believe how embarassingly bad it sounded on the nice monitoring equipment at uni. The bass clashes really terribly in parts and sometimes swamps everything. Sounds great on headphones (which I mixed it on) or cheap hi-fi/boombox systems though.

Thanks all.

Apologies for bumping my own long dead and buried thread, but I've just discovered that Quicktime absolutely f**king hates this mp3. I was a bit confused what Donks meant by the stop/start bits. There shouldn't be any. Just mentioning this in case anybody heard it and thought it was part of the track. Especially the Mac people, but I think you all use iTunes now anyway.

Guess I'll be sticking to CBR mp3 in the future for posting at KvR.

On another note, what kind of modern player can't play VBR mp3s properly.

Quick Time does tend to experience dropouts when the sound is still loading from the server. Once it's completely downloaded there shouldn't be any trouble though.

Cheers Dystonia, but this was with the file just sitting on my desktop. I've tried a few other VBR mp3s and they work just fine, seems to be a problem with mine only. Can't say I understand how that is, since it's just encoded with LAME using an alt-preset in the usual way, all headers present and correct. I'm going to try ripping a few tracks later at different settings to see if I can reproduce it. Bit of a bummer though.
