If meant to be serious, none of this describes what I'm hearing.

On the French horns, it sounds to me like there is a dropout problem on three 
notes.  I'm trying to find out if I caused it, or if it's something on the 
other end.  If so, maybe it can be fixed so that others don't have a similar 
problem.

On the Russian choir note, there's definitely something strange going on 
there, just with the one note.  Others can judge for themselves.  I'm just 
trying to help here.

Here's the link to the page with all these sounds:

Let me know if there are any problems listening to the MP3's on this page.  
I've been having some trouble
with the Mp3s on my web site lately, for some reason.


  But aren't we getting a little pedantic?

No, just me.

The reason that I'm pointing this out is because these are the NEW recordings 
(not from the 1950's), and if there's something which stands out, maybe it 
can be fixed and all will benefit.  Not looking for perfection,  if I were, I 
wouldn't own a Mellotron.

Yeah, maybe not.
