I want the 17 min version - so long as it is NOT the live version. I think there is room for MP3 trading here!

Here is a suggestion. More of a re-make than a remix, but is this possible - and who would be interested?
Habalushy: ...what is the Macbeth Suite?
Inu-Liger: This was music that Brian wrote programmed on a MIDI synth, transferred to cassette from a diskette, and discarded the disk afterwards (which ended up in legitimate hands).
This was for the 1990 production of Macbeth.
John S. Stuart: Due to size and space, the material on the diskette only featured a few more tracks. (The main theme being priority and lasting about 5 mins long).
However, the 'live' version is indeed much longer - although it too is a bit 'patchy' and a collection of very short pieces - rather than a truely elongated classical piece. It is also a very poor audience recording.
If anyone of you 'musical midi guys' are interested, (I am neither musical or PC literate enough to do this personally), I could certainly share the bootlegged live version (editing out the above downloads), but would it be possible to re-create these as 'studio midis'?
In other words, if the 'real thing' is not 'out-there', would it be possible to re-create, using the live version as a template? I know it would NOT be genuine in the sense of Brian's playing, but it would still be authentic in the sense that it would be a 'Brian May composition'.
I mean - if 'Beethoven's' 'Fifth Symphony' can be performed by the likes of 'Herbert Von Karajan', or, 'The Russian State Symphony Orchestra', or, 'The University of Stirling Radio Chorus', and STILL remain 'Beethoven's Fifth', why not the 'Macbeth Suit' performed by the 'Queenzone Midi Performers'?
Obviously, it would work better if each 'composer' chose an allocated 'movement' and thus avoiding duplication, but as a general idea, I think it holds water.
My only reservation is that having visited some internet midi sites, the final product sounds cheap and tacky. Therefore, is it possible to re-create a midi to sound like 'quality' - or is such a project doomed by tinny Casio technology?
Just a thought!

Hey John.
The MIDI's themselves, along with how they're programmed, sound as good as the soundfonts that you or other people are using with them.
Different soundfonts produce different sounds and results, so it's not necessarily a "tinny" sound always.

You might as well have said that in Japanese - as I really have no idea what you mean!
Are you saying that poor midi files (with really bad synthetic guitar) will sound better if the 'guitar programme' is better?

Soundfonts are a collection of samples that can be played back on a computer via a midi sequence. In other words, what Inu meant is that as long as the person playing back a midi has good quality instruments in their pc or keyboard, it should sound decent. But yes, programming is a big part of whether it works or not.
So, an 8MB piano might not sound as good as a 64MB piano, etc. etc.
Peace,
Adam.

Hi John!
Macbeth is a studio track, but the recording comes from an audience source that taped it at a performance.
So in other words it´s a studio recording in front of a live audience
Is that the one u are looking for?

I am looking for the 'clean' studio version.
I know that the live performance is backed by the studio version - but the live version is a very poor qualiity version, which also suffers from actor and studio over-chatter.
I know that some promo cassetes were distributed on the night - so if anyone has a copy of these, ofcourse I would be interested.
In the meantime, as these studio versions are so hard to get hold of, perhaps a re-creation could fill that void.
Does this make sense?
