YouTube item

Here are some technical details about the Space Shuffle video.

The music of the audio track divided the customary eighth-note swing pair into a nine-part nonuplet. The first eighth note was given the first four parts of the nonuplet; the second eighth note the last four parts. A one-part rest appears at the fifth part of the nonuplet . The opening measures of the piece appear in the attached file.

The audio uses the (free) "Splendid Piano" sound font. It is available as a 73 meg (20 meg compressed) file at http://www.soundcreationsinc.com/tech/splendid/grand._collection.html.

The 33 meg Microsoft wave output from Musescore was converted to a 7 meg mp3 by the Lame extension to Audacity 1.3 (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) using a 320kbps constant stereo option. The sound track for the resulting mp3 audio is here:

The video was produced in the (free) open-source DVD Slideshow GUI, available at http://download.videohelp.com/tin2tin/. The slide show was exported as a 19 meg mp4. The original video submitted to YouTube is available here: http://ormusic.home.comcast.net/SpaceShuffle.mp4. You can compare the video and audio of this file with the resulting YouTube Flash down-sampled version.

As a result of overwhelming plaudits (both of them), I put together another YouTube item - Snowy Morning Blues by James P. Johnson. You can find it here:

The quality of the YouTube audio isn't very good. You can play a better quality mp3 here:

I couldn't resist: Here's another on YouTube:
