This is so bizarre. I was just thinking of how great it would be to be able to do a sound clip of singing and then link it to a message here for you to listen to.... then I clicked on this thread. I thought by the title that this was a rebirth of the idea of sending in recordings of ourselves to Max, (which we discussed, but I haven't gotten around to doing). The reason I am now working with a version 7.5.6 finder and a version 7.6.1 system on my Mac, is that when I was trying to connect my Yamaha keyboard to my Mac, I somehow zapped the computer. So, although I was trying to make advances in using the computer for music as well as art and design, I really messed things up. I plan to upgrade to system 8.5 and get things straightenend out for the keyboard and for a microphone, but it will be awhile. It was really a coincidence that I was thinking of doing a sound clip of singing a minute before I read this thread. It would be a 'good thing'.
