Recently I bought a "imic" (a little USB device that act as a sound
card) for my ibook 
and I recorded some songs with my DTXpress I. 
 
Here you have one of them:

Unfortunately, my XP OS can't open it.

VTIS:

You may want to rethink the use of OGG audio files, not many people can 
open them. Try WAV files or the ever popular MP3. I would suggest MP3 
simply for file size is small and downloads quickly.

Winamp 2 can play ogg files nicely (i don't know about winamp3).   
   
ogg-endoded files are of better quality than the very popular mp3.  
And I use ogg because, as they say on their site, Ogg Vorbis is  
a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and  
streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source.   
   
Don't be afraid. Download winamp, don't trust microsoft as if they  
were the only systems provider of the whole world. I tell you,   
microsoft has never invented anything. The only thing that   
microsoft wants is to make impossible to think of alternate   
technologies. And I don't use windows (i use linux), and I don't 
have a wma encoder.   
   
Please, don't ban something without doing a minimum research. There  
are many free ogg players out there you can download.

Hi there vtis0145,

If you're using an iBook, why arn't you using iTunes?

Sounds like you're running windows really?

Alex

But your track sounds quite sharp, maybe turn up the backing 
volume and consider taking down the snare a little to give it a 
nice mix.

Overall I do like your playing, I tend to put fills and crap all over 
the place, and your playing is rather like my father's - solid.

Try and experiment?

Good playing,

Alex

P.S. If I get my DTX II soon, I'll post something up too!

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux on my ibook.

interesting, how come?

Thanks for your compliments, I really appreciate them. 
 
I play drums for hobby. I was in a local band some time ago. We did some police and 
queen versions. Good times. 
 
And you're right. The backing volume is too low. I did not realize it while I was 
playing, but I have to admit it. 
 
For the snare... I like to hear a strong snare. Probably you're right too.. And i think that 
the bass drum is also too high. 
 
I have a version of "it's allright for you" (a police song). I played over the track. I 
would post it here too, but I don't know if it would be legal (probably not).

I tried to email ur privately?

Hey, Vtis,

I'd love to hear the cut, and I have no love of MP3. I had a winamp 
player but discarded it. The last time I tried to download one, I got 
a Trojan Horse for my trouble (not a problem that you would have). Do 
you know a safe site for an ogg player? I'd also be interested in 
hearing your Stewart Copeland impression.

Ed

Yea, give us a blast!

Alex

You believe everything a company says about its self? The term 'quality' 
is a very subjective matter, both are lossy formats so who can truly be 
the judge? From what I see, the main pushers for the O.V. format are 
those people who are always upset by 'corporate America' like those that 
push open source, like yourself... and the tilt of the mind slants just 
one way in most of the 'open source' community.. I never said ogg was 
bad, just said it was not as recognized, therein lies the problem.

> Don't be afraid. Download winamp,

I'm not afraid... I have Winamp...  Why should I be afraid? Have you 
been seeing black helicopters in my area? Are you afraid? My cats seem a 
little nervous...

Oh no.. it begins...

I bet you have protest signs, all made nice with glitter too! What you 
speak of is the free enterprise system that we all know and love, if 
Bill G. didn't make products that worked, and we all bought them, he 
would not have succeeded. Nothing makes people more jealous than 
success. The hippie culture was all about free and sharing too... but 
look at some of them now in BMWs and Mercedes convertibles, they 
wouldn't use a drop of their chai lattes to put out their mother's hair 
if it were on fire. Just look at Woodstock's commercialized comeback...


> And I don't use windows (i use linux), and I don't have a wma encoder.

Yah, I thought that little penguin guy was cute until I realized that if 
I want to run the most software, and be fully compliant with my clients 
and friends, then I had to use what I use. Anything else is just being 
stubborn.


>

BAN?? What?? Are the shadow people back? I do the research Mr. Linux...  
I do audio for a living. I was merely making a suggestion, you took it 
as an insult and then went on a tirade about Microsoft for some reason.. 
just like all the other open sorcerers...

Have a nice open free day.
gord.

I have not tried it, but It seems that here:  
  
http://tobias.everwicked.com/oggds.htm  
  
OggDS is a collection of Direct Show filters for Windows Media Player 
that supports Ogg streams and Vorbis audio playback and encoding, 
as well as splitting and multiplexing.  
  
Try it at your own risk, and read the documentation.  
  
Or you can try sonique:

gee, I bet we all get stereotypical sometimes, don't
we?

Jesus!  That is enough!  We have too much crap going on in a world that 
resembles the world in the Terminator movies more and more with each passing

I didn't reply to distortion here, because I think this is not the place for that discussion. 
I sent my reply to his private address.

What if the terminators processing units were(or will
be) created based on a most efficient and powerful
former e-drums brain, on which certain wishlist of
certain yahoo group had been implemented, my god! am I
glad the tech industry isn't as pleasing as we wish
they were.
