Subject: RE: HearMe Anyone? Tonight--5/29/00
Thanks for those great moments ! As I told to Kat, my problem is two-fold: My mic refuses to work with Hearme, and even if it worked, at this time everybody is asleep (family and close neighbours) and my style is a little .. er.. "tenorish" (as I say, insufficient for opera but enough for a lot of noise).

Tonight we made a succesful test: ANY sound file that is run through the sound card (for example the program WinAmp playing a MIDI file) is perfectly sent to Hearme and can be heard by everybody. This means that we can play a MIDI or WAV file or even MP3 as accompaniment, and mix our voice with the microphone (still not tested, but surely will work).

In my case, I'll record both piano and voice in a single WAV file and then play with WinAmp while I´m pressing F9 in Hearme. So you will hear my record and the neighbours will not throw me out of the building. This applies to ANY other sound record (we could broadcast any CD to Hearme participants, but it is not the purpose of the meeting)
I do have some records of my performances but they are in tape, and the process of digitalization would render a very poor sound. Better I record some songs especially for the meeting.
Un abrazo, thanks again - Andrés
