Hello Mike - 

CA>> My recent arrangements of MP3/WMA traditonal Christmas
CA>> MIDI music is my most recent speed bump. 

CA>> I do not write music, I arrange existing well known music
CA>> in the way(s) I think it should be performed. On CD-DA
CA>> when played on a stereo system I get 'looks' that tell me
CA>> they don't believe the music is my own arrangement. 

MR> What we're talking about here is the role of the musical
MR> conductor or in recording terms, the producer. For example
MR> if the early Beatles hadn't met Sir George Martin there is
MR> a possibility they would have been just another forgotten
MR> group. What Sir Martin did was just as creative and
MR> influential as anything the Lennon/McCartney team came up
MR> with. Another example is the Michael Jackson album Thriller
MR> which was produced by Quincy Jones. Had someone else been
MR> in charge it's not sure the album would have been as good. 

I am told the person or person(s) who edit the finished
Hollywood productions can make or break the efforts of all of
the actors, producers, and directors. 

MR> Like you I enjoy creating and producing my own MIDI files.
MR> For example I'll take a song and tinker with the instrument
MR> arrangements until they sound pleasing to me. Sometimes if
MR> you were to compare the before and after results, the
MR> original sounds like the "unplugged" version and my version
MR> raises the hair on the back of your neck. It's scary to
MR> have that much power! Hehehe! 

I have an example of just that at my webpage. 

One of my Christmas music files was originally just two pianos
and now it is an orchestra with a 'cathedral' sound and a choir
accompaniment. When I first played it for my older sister she
cried. When I played it again for my mother she cried after
hearing the original and then my version. 

I guess if your 'art' makes people cry it must be good or very
very bad. :-)
