Yes, I noticed that only after having uploaded. Even so the albums were going to be posted on archive anyway. Thanks for urging me on. Seems I still had some energy left before total and complete burnout. The albums were fun to create. If anybody wonders how I churn them out so quickly it's because I know my way around Soundtrack and I am very familiar with the kinds of loops I have. The program and loops ARE my instruments, like a real instrument should be an extension of a musician's body. After having made so many albums hell it had better be this way or there's no point to having done any of it, right? Practice, practice, practice, makes perfect, but in this case it will never get me to Carnegie Hall.

You will see on the webpage, in the desription, what the album represents (more or less); created with MuseScore 0.9.6.2 on a laptop PC, using Windows XP. It can be done on a PC as well! The program behaves similarly. I have noticed no dissimilarities. Btw, certain percussion are likewise not available in the PC version in just the same way they are not available in the Mac version. Perhaps this means it must be a MIDI connection to a synth? I am not sure. I have not gone through the manual nor asked anyone in the offical forum about this problem. Enjoy.

Note: The album is not one of my favorites but there are moments when it shines.

You are welcome.

Btw, the coverart for "The Krazy Things" was created with GIMP on a PC laptop. Several filters were used to achieve the weird effects. There were multiple layers used and different filters were applied to each separate layer. I will provide what I can remember...

>motion blur was used on the starshine layer which was behind the texts, to spread out the light and give it that otherworldly impression
>lighting effects that produce stars and suns were applied to another layer in front of the tentacle-creature(s)
>the tentacles/eyeballs layer. It was drawn as many separate tentacles then the "oil" filter was used to give them a more organic/unusual appearance
>the background was black with green strokes that were pixelized, and I think the body/torso of a single creature was added behind the tentacles, but you cannot see it. This is intentional because I later kept to my original idea of implying many things as opposed to just one thing emerging from another dimension

New classical album created with MuseScore on a PC. Got a heavy-duty virus this time and almost lost this music. Glad I was able to rescue it...

Pops and clicks are heard on certain tracks of this album. This is because I listened to the final exported tracks only once and thought it was a temporary problem with my headphones, I was not aware the sounds are embedded in the tracks permanently. You will have to use a program that removes such problems. Maybe Audacity does this? I don't remember. I won't be re-uploading the album in a fixed version. Sorry but it is what it is. I have other more important things to do at this time.
