three and the same

More editing, another attempt at the vocal, and my very first bass line. Really, I'm going to stop fiddling with this one.

I uploaded the new version to the web site, but I can't scrounge up enough bandwidth there to make sure it uploaded okay. Some other people tell me the site's working for them.

Can anyone recommend a hosting service with decent bandwidth and no terms-of-service restrictions on hosting MP3s?

I finally added a domain alias 'journal.drowning.org', in case I decide to leave LiveJournal someday, but I can't seem to get that to work either.

In happier news, Netflix is sending me The Truth About Charlie, which has one of my favorite DVD extras ever. The film is a remake of the Cary Grant-Audrey Hepburn movie Charade; a lot of reviews of the remake talked about how great the original was. So, they threw in the original on the DVD.

As a bass player, I never think the bass is loud enough, but after correcting for that bias it is probably fine, so never mind.

How did you record the bass (and what is it?)

It's loud enough for me. PC audio speakers and headphones often shortchange the bass, though.

It's a Dean fretless acoustic bass (http://www.deanguitars.com/prodcat/customer/product.php?productid=19019&cat=301&page=1), recorded direct (via the Mackie mixer you recommended ages ago). And I added some EQ and some compression, but I'm not sure they're doing much.

I recommend place.org. I hear they can do vhosts and have very few restrictions on site content.

Bandwidth is the only real issue with place.org. But unless you're streaming a lot or suddenly get real popular, it shouldn't be a problem.

The entire movie? On the same disk? Wow.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

Yep! Pretty cool.

It's a good film too. Probably better than the remake. I just can't picture Marky Mark in Cary Grant's role.

[jfb.livejournal.com]

I regard the original as enjoyable fluff, and the remake as the same. And it's not Cary Grant's role--it's Mark Wahlberg's. You're never going to enjoy an adaptation if you view it that way.

Consider webmasters.com. They seem inexpensive and competent, and they seem to accept any use that isn't abusive or illegal.
