[pianotech] mp3 recordings - Soundcloud

[Mark Dierauf]

I subscribed to Soundcloud, but my initial perception is that it's 
slower than molasses - even slower than Higher Logic <g>.

Apples to apples is certainly the goal for sound comparisons, but given 
the variety of equipment being used we'll be luck to get as close as 
Macintosh to Granny Smiths. Still, If we used Michael's suggestions for 
mic placement and the same file format and resolutions then that would 
at least keep us within the fruit family.
