http://www.geocities.com/donaldstringer/donaldssoundfiles.html  Would someone go check this out and to see if you can here my sound clips. I finally figured out a few basics. Constructive critism welcome[be nice now] :wink:   You can hit the my favorites at the bottm and it will take you back to my main page.

I heard the first clip, then your bandwith was exceeded before I could hear the second one. A little background noise, and something that sounded like a speaker farting out (twice), but still..... very clear and ambient.

Great to hear that you got to upload the soundfiles. Cool clips. There's a little noise in the background, but I believe that this is because you used the amp near the PC. At least here, when I use my amp near the PC, I can hear noise.

Hey Don,
 Nice work on your site.  I think that's the first time I've actually streamed a .wav file.  That last track is very reminiscent of the Todd Rundgren riff from 'Couldn't I just Tell You"....

Could someone explain to me about the bandwidth thing? Your right about the amp being next to the pc. I usedwindows 98 sound recorder to record the clips. It actualy worked out better than I hoped for allthough its a little restrictive, but its the most simple solution at the time. I have power tracks pro -audio version 6 but it was a little complicated for what I wanted to do. When I play the clips back through my connection the first one plays choppy but when the sound is `fully downloaded it plays smoothly. I guess its a decent start, the next step is to clean up the sound ,eliminate stray noises. I miced the amp with a shure 57 because I was trying to capture  as close as possible to what I might actually play somewhere in the event that I actually did. Could someone recomend a userfriendly free mp3  guitar recording software that would be appropriate for what I am doing? I tried recording  just the effect into sound card but you loose the effect of an amp being in the chain.

When lots of people visit your site and download files, it exceed the bandwidth. It's a damn thing, but Geocities it's a free hoster. When this happens, the site returns in about half of a hour.
