JSngry Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Posted June 27, 2005 I made my master discs today, and am going to "live with them" tonight. Barring any last-minute revisions that might result, I'll be copying discs through the week to send to the distributors either late this week or early next week. So if you want to sign up but haven't yet done so, the next few days are definitely the time to do so. Quote
Guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 (edited) Hoping for another participant shortly, from Japan. Will that be a first? I'm sure he'll get a big welcome if he does decide to join in the fun, won't he? Big Kenny Wheeler fan. ← Wow, I wouldn't be the only "Asian" in the group. And I guess that could make me (or him) the distributor for Asia. ← This prospective newbie must be me. Hello from Japan! You never know what fun is going on in the net... Thanks tooter for taking me to here. Finally registered to the forum and sent email to sign up for this. I am not an expert and the previous tests look pretty tough... but let's see how I will do with it. So you are my neighbor indigo? See you all around! Edited June 27, 2005 by naos Quote

JSngry Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Posted June 29, 2005 The master discs have been compiled, sequenced, re-compliled, resequenced, re-recorded to fix some (but alas, not every) intercuttal level discrepancies, and are ready for copying. Could've gone with a sloppier (technically as well as musically) version that was done Sunday, but it was just too sloppy for me. The final version has slop enough as it is, but just technically. The selections and sequencing are finally right for my taste. 28 selections in all, many under 5 minutes in duration, and most in stereo! Distributors - look for an e-mail within the next 48 hours that will provide you with your preliminary mailing lists. Burning will take place this weekend. Sorry, won't be able to get to it sooner. All copies will be mailed out on Tuesday, July 5. Non-North American mailings will be sent via US Global Priority Mail in an attempt to minimize lag time between recipients. Distribution groups look to be fairly small, and I'll see to it that all distributors have their lists well in advance. It's going to be a 2 CD set in a two-sided plain cotton mesh/plastic (or whatever that stuff is) holder, so if the distributors have the time to prep their mailings beforehand, all they'll have to do is take the discs from my envelope, put them in theirs, and mail'em off. Zip-a-dee-do-dah. Barring any major postal snafus, this should allow for the first wave of discussion to begin roughly around July 12 or so, beginning with the distributors (hey - I can't pay ya', so here's your perk! ). I plan on having the answers up around July 25, so that's about a two week window for discussion, which should be plenty, I think. The material is pretty straight-forward for the most part, with more than a few "easy" selections (as far as identification goes), and one outright "gimme". If there's any in-depth discussion to be it should surface early on, since ID ain't gonna be that big of an issue overall, I don't think. But maybe I'm wrong...I can postpone the answers until a few days later if need be, though, A little bit (a very little bit) of overlap between tests shouldn't hurt. But answers will definitely be posted on or by August 1. No new signups for two days now, so it's looking like we might be set. If you want to participate but haven't yet signed up, now's the time! I'll make Sunday, July 3 the deadline, ok? Anything after that, and it'll be up to somebody to volunteer to send you a burn and for you to ask. Hate to be a hardass, but time is tight right now, and trying to fix the level issues took two days longer than I wanted, just because I'm bouncing back and forth between analog and digital source materials and don't have an audio editing program and a full-featured computer burning program like the cool kids do. So there's still a few "technical imperfections", but hey, no more delays. On with the show! Quote

See you all around! ← Hello indeed and welcome to the wonderful world of BFT! Don't worry about being an expert at this: I've been participating since BFT #4 (ironically, JSngry did that one, too!), and I think I've correctly identified six songs and maybe ten players. In other words, you're in good company! Quote
