too much free time

When I have too much free time, I either get bored, usually, or I do really senseless stuff. For today, I did the latter. Due to the fact that I can't get my hands on a decent recording of the Arban's Carnival of Venice performed by a euphonium, because all the euphonium played Carnival of Venice I have is the Herbert Clarke arrangement. So I fired up Audacity and edited the trumpet version of it I got. It's not perfect, far from it in fact, I didn't really bother because I only wanted to have some fun. With that in mind, I did a shabby job with the editing, you can hear distinctly the parts where I edited, obviously because it doesn't sound like a trumpet, but also because of the distinct shift in pitch. It actually sounds like a REAL euphonium and because of that I'm glad and I bring myself to applaud Audacity as industry standard piece of software comparable to Cool Edit, not to forget that it is freeware.

Being the usual pain in the ass that imposes my thoughts and ideals on others, I'm going to FORCE you to listen to my bad remix of the wonderful piece arranged by Arbans.

[Edit]: Force period over, listen to it here.

You'll need flash player to hear and see this. If you haven't already got it, GET IT because if you don't you are and will be a loser. Take the first step in loser prevention now, get flash player damn it!
