yeah.. it does sound better. the sound is more together (top to bottom).. compare to the other one. (but it is also a different recording)

O.k. i just downloaded a sample version of WinAvi and i got the file conveted to Divx and uploaded to Photobuckets.... but it display the clip the same as before.

so how do i get the Divx file to a link up? or where do i upload the file?

The problem is that photobucket will convert the file again to low quality flash format and loose quality big time. What you want to do is to upload the file you convert by Winavi to a hosting space. When you sign up a ADSL or Cable internet plan with your ISP, usually they will include a free personal space for free. Just upload the file to it and link it directly. Or you could buy a small web hosting plan from any reputable company and a domain name, that's what I did.

Will do a video clip with the first song again.

O.k. finally got a chance to hear it... as my other computor has crappy speakers.

It seems to be pretty much there... maybe some better control over the highs frequency acoustically? otherwise its alive right across.

what are the new setting?

BTW: just wondering which $200 Fuji camera did you use for the clips? i have a Fuji E-500 that could only record 60sec of video, and not 3mins.

After adding one extra layer yeterday to the door and the midbass of these k2p still not cutting it. If I turn it loud the midbass is there, but I normally won't listen to music at that kind of level. What I want is a nice midbass at low to mid volume. Today I went to a local shop and ask them about doing a sealed enclosure on the door panel (or inside) and they gave me a quote of $1200 for the job with color matched cloth or vinyl. Is that price resonable?

Wow! That sounds absolutely amazing!!!! Even being recorded, it still sounds amazing. I take it the recording doesn't do them justice.

I wish I had that kind of a setup.

How much is the setup you have now?

just too bad i no longer have my shop in Burnaby..... otherwise it would be much easier to figure out exactly what the problem is.

Where's your shop now?

The camera was Fuji F10, a great little camera. Link
