With tips from Gary and Sherry, I've improved the GPO version of this Stars piece so that a lot of the distortion is now gone except in the last third of the song, Now the brass has a little bit more punch to it. Also, I bumped up the volume level of the trombones so that there is more bass, which Sherry found missing.

Here is the updated version of the .not file and companion .gpo file:

<center><table border=1><tr><td>Stars19GPO.not
Stars19GPO.not (85.8 k)</td></tr></table></center>
<center><table border=1><tr><td>Stars19.gpo
Stars19.gpo (82.3 k)</td></tr></table></center>

Please note that the .not file will currently open only with MidiNotate Player and the current beta release of MidiNotate Composer Pro, which you can get in the Composer Pro section of this forum. When MidiNotate Musician and Composer version 1.1 are release, you will also be able to open the above .not file with those versions of MidiNotate.

Gary asked me to send him an MP3 of the piece, so that he can analyze what's wrong with it. I'm still having problems, because I'm a beginner when it comes to audio rather than MIDI. He'll probably be able to give me lots of tips on improving the sound.
