Re: Recording Project! Winners of the Discord Low Brass Composition Contest
What's your deadline for sending tracks in? I might be able to crank one or two out, but I've got some other projects that take precedence for me right now.
For what it's worth, you might find the performances better for the Algera piece if the click track is something more than a metronome. I suggest you try the same sort of click track that the Zaczek piece has (MIDI of the parts along with a metronome click). I've had much more success on similar projects when the musicians have parts to play along with, otherwise intonation can get pretty squirrelly and it's much easier for players to miscount rests and play wrong rhythms if it's only a metronome.
Also, the Feld zip file with whatever audio files are in it wouldn't open on my computer.

Hi Dave,
The deadline is August 15th. I'll have a look at the files and see why they won't open. The click/MIDI tracks were made by the composers so I don't have control over that but I can suggest to them. Thanks for the input, and for recording if you get the chance.
Tubists, euphonium, and baritone players, we need your help for this one!
