Re: [linux-audio-user] how good are soundfonts and where do I find them?

I can't say I've used a *lot* of soundfonts, but from the ones I've used, this one sounds the best. But (I personally) found the sterio panning of the samples to be a hinderance. It gives me less control of the "left/right spectrum". I've had to set all the panning effects to the middle. And then there's the issue of "do I merge the two ("left sample" and "right sample") as one sample. Or do I use the best sounding sample of the two" (to knock the size down *a lot*). It's been a lot of work (and it's not done), but I have a lot more control over panning with the "mono version". That covers "recoding my own music". But also, I find that other people's midi files were created with "mono fonts" so the panning is weird when played back with the FluidR3 GM.SF2 soundfont. BTW... Why would anyone put a space in a file name? Isn't this just asking for trouble? Rocco
