[LAU] Loosing stuff is not always a bad thing

Recently I posted my tune 'Antartica' on KVR (not mentioned here because it had no connection at all with Linux) and when someone commented that one instrument was too loud, I thought he was right so decided to do a remix. To my horror I could find no trace of the build files, not even searching back more than two years of backup CDs, after the usual tantrums, swearing and pulling the house apart (no chair throwing though). I had the bright idea of firing up my ancient Acorn machine, which to my surprise and delight came up without problems. There was my original MIDI file from 1993. This was of course quite a lot different from later versions, but was complete enough for me to recreate the track. However, I felt free to be more adventurous both with the tune itself, and the instruments. It is now about 70% ZynAddSubFX, 20% SY35 & 10% Sound Canvas and all the editing was done in Rosegarden so is proudly 'music made with linux' :) I would greatly appreciate some feedback, even if it's just to say I wasted my time and should have left the old machine in peace. http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Antartica.ogg http://www.musically.me.uk/music/Antartica.mp3 Hey, I think I've finally got the hang of these URLs :) -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk
