Let me know what you think. Sorry the file is very large I'm trying to figure out how to cut it down.http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/File ... US&lang=en

Just a thought... maybe you should tell us the size of the file. Just saying it's "very large" will probably discourage listeners.

one is 54mb and the other is 17mb. Any advice how to cut down the file size would be appreciated.I've tried all manor of rendering and I can't get a 4min song to be under 17mb.

Assuming you've got iTunes...

Import your AIFF into iTunes. Now open up the iTunes preferences, go to the Advanced page and select the Importing tab. In the Import Using dropdown choose MP3 Encoder and in the Setting dropdown choose Good Quality (128 kbps).

Now find the song you imported in the iTunes library, right (ctl) click the file and select Convert Selection to MP3. The resulting mp3 file should be about one tenth the size of your AIFF.

Hope this helps.

polyslax thank you thank you thank you!!! I've tried to do that before and for some reason it never worked. So alright now I got them down to 5 and 2mb, if anyone would be so kind as to listen and give me some feedback it would be appreciated.

Checked out Winter and The Last Polar Bear. I thought they were both quite well done. Nice retro synth pop sounds, good progression and variety, memorable melodic work. Listening on phones but the mix sounded fine. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
