You know, sometimes I wish the news reporter would finish his story with:
"But it turns out it was all just a dream.
"Really she's okay..."

[And I should point out that tubular bells are usually referred to as chimes.]

Amazing! I really like it.

Oh dear. I really misinterpreted the title… Huh. I was wondering how you'd be creating nuclear war anyway.

I'm a bit reluctant to download a 100MB+ file, do you have a compressed mp3 version?

MuseScore only saves as .wav tongue
How do I make a compressed MP3?

Pretty interesting...I like it.
(I'm no one to say this) but it seems like you repeat a sequence of note a lot, something that you didn't do in the destruction piece you wrote before.

I am trying various things, and in the other one, I just wanted to write something really hard. In this one, I wanted to actually write something good, and it makes it hold together more.

OK.

If you've got iTunes, you could open it up in that and convert it.
Otherwise, you could download Audacity & convert it to OGG, or, if you're willing, add LAME to Audacity for MP3.

When I first saw this topic's subject I was like yikes .

Especially since ST closed the first "NUCLEAR WAR" topic that came about.

I was about to say this:

I'm not sure if it's this way with MuseScore, but in Audacity you can just click File then Export and you can save it as whatever sound file type. If you see a button that says export on MuseScore, that might be the answer. (not sure though)

No, MuseScore only saves as .wav. I'll try converting it.

jvvg · 2012-12-06 12:28:15

There, the download link is a 10 MB MP3 instead of a 100 MB WAV.

Anyway, I took up the advice of the other people and used Audacity.

Now that it's compressed, I could take a look at it.

Now that I think about it, and OGG would have been better, but because of portability issues, I'll take the MP3. tongue

Wow!
