Zhen Username: Zhen Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2006 - 1:17 pm:    ummm ... is ogg vorbis format something impossible for you guys ? nullsoft winamp supports this file type ... and many other players do Funkle Username: Funkle Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2006 - 1:50 pm:    This free multi-platform utility will play them: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Nice clips Zhen -Sven Zhen Username: Zhen Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2006 - 2:16 pm:    Funkle, as far as i'm concerned, u're a more dark and mellow tone fan, right ? i'll try to record some dark and mellow tones tomorrow Regg Username: Regg Registered: 09-2005 Posted on Monday, February 20, 2006 - 4:09 pm:    Sounds like you get a pretty silky tone either way Zhen. I guess the only reason why I would lean slightly toward the second clip is because I prefer a little less reverb, but they are both nice. I've been trying to record with a Senheiser e609 lately, and you're giving me some ideas so thanks for sharing.

Fg100 Username: Fg100 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - 6:04 am:    Thanks Funkle.. Ok, I listened a bit to each one... just a bit because my system crashed each time after a few seconds of playing ....!!?? But I managed to listen to the first file. I like the high notes on the first file but find the low ones lacking body... I like them with more body and definition. You have rosewood on your fingerboard, right? The second file I got just the first few notes before it crashed... can't really say anything. Zhen Username: Zhen Registered: 01-2005 Posted on Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - 7:51 am:    Fg100 : "I like them with more body and definition." hmm .. might be the reverb ... too much of it .. "You have rosewood on your fingerboard, right?" yeah, right thanks !
