Mentalcase Posted October 11, 2003 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2003 (edited) SaRuMaN, I was wondering if there is a way to have audio files attached to our posts. Something you can click to download. *The size of an audio file is much larger then 20k. I have been writing a lot of songs lately, and I would love to share them with the forum.

Saru Posted October 11, 2003 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2003 MC, It is possible to allow audio file attachments, however for the very reason that an audio file is much larger than 20k, I've been reluctant to include that option. I think that if we allowed audio files as attachments, they would go off with a lot of bandwidth, which would cause problems in the long run. That's why file attachments have such a small limit, every view detracts from the site's monthly bandwidth allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalcase Posted October 11, 2003 Author #5 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Right, Maybe I'll make about 8 installments of 20k file song bits to make one song , now if you will all have enough patience to put them all together as one. lol I gots to go right now, maybe I'll figure something out.

Saru Posted October 11, 2003 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2003 How big are the audio files you want to upload ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalcase Posted October 11, 2003 Author #7 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I haven't even compressed them yet (or recorded many of them yet). I suppose I could start a thread for my music and if anyone wants to hear it, I could send them a file. That seems simple enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted October 11, 2003 #8 Share Posted October 11, 2003 If they're not too large I could host a few of them manually on the site's web space, let me know when you have them ready for distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentalcase Posted October 11, 2003 Author #10 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'm going to attempt recording a good version of my newest song, I really need some feedback for it! brb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalcase Posted October 11, 2003 Author #11 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I'm DLing a prog now to convert the file to MP3. I hope it works with a mixed wav. file. If it does, I should have the song ready within the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalcase Posted October 11, 2003 Author #12 Share Posted October 11, 2003 It is in MP3 format now, but the file size is 2.07mb. The quality of the song isn't great, it is recorded with a bad mic and a bad program, but it's good enough to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted October 12, 2003 #14 Share Posted October 12, 2003 MC, why not place these audio files on a Geocities or whatever free host, and link them here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalcase Posted October 12, 2003 Author #15 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Good point, I'll brb, gots to go for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted October 12, 2003 #16 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Free web hosts like Geocities tend to forbid the storage of media files, I think they go around removing accounts at random to enforce that. It's worth a try though, if you include an HTML page about your music aswell, you could argue that you have a full web site there, rather than only using the space to store the files.

thefirstman Posted December 24, 2003 #22 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Hey One Eye,when did you start playing bass,what are your inspirations(if any)? And Mentalcase,id love to hear one of your songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEye Posted December 25, 2003 #23 Share Posted December 25, 2003 I started playing bass in the middle of summer. I have a pretty good ear for music and haven't taken lessons yet, though I'm thinking of finding somewhere to take them. As for inspiration, there really isn't any. I just love the deep bass back up sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefirstman Posted December 25, 2003 #24 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Iv only been playing a few months,im pretty fond of the bass,but i used to play electric guitar beforehand.Im self taught,and mostly my inspiration comes frfom Alkaline Trio,but also the older things like Van Morrisson(Brown Eyed Girl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted December 28, 2003 #25 Share Posted December 28, 2003 MentalCase, At the risk of being lampooned... ...uh...you might want to consider copyrighting the songs before you publish them. if you haven't already done so....uh...nevermind...
