Topic: Graceful Ghost by William Bolcom

Very nice piano piece composed by William Bolcom (thanks for your modifications Georges )
Recorded with Steinway D (jazz recording AB with a little bit of my updates) using KAWAI VPC1.
I hope you'll enjoy - some of my night mood.

Simply excellent playing, as always! There was unfortunately a little bit of distortion creeping in here and there - I know the YouTube compression doesn't help (other forum members will know a lot more about that than I do), but maybe you need to set your volume level down 1 or 2 dB?

Thank you again. I'll try to render this with another parameters. Maybe it will help.

Do you hear this creeping sound also on soundcloud? This is the same audio file.

I'm almost 100% sure, that the problem is my video editor.

Re: Graceful Ghost by William Bolcom

That's really strange that you've used the same source for both but with different results. Listening just now the Soundcloud version sounds a bit 'wobbly', like an old tape recording. But today the YouTube version sounds to me much better, with hardly any noticeable distortion. Maybe YouTube sound quality is affected by bandwidth usage or something like that - it's a mystery to me!
