OK, I've made this files:
- 96KHz, 32 bit floating point
File size: 448M (wav), flac does not support 32 bit samples
- 96KHz, 24 bit
File size: 336M (wav), 107M (flac)
- 96KHz, 16 bit
File size: 224M (wav), 49M (flac)
At 16 bit flac compresses proportionally better (2/3 wav -- 1/2 flac).
I will upload the 96KHz, 24 bit flac file, unless anybody wants other.
What should I do with the license? File consists of just isolated
notes, played one by one, rendered by a software synth. Normally, I
would not want to put my copyright on this kind of "creative" work.
But by the magic of copyright law, it is auto-copyrighted even if I do
not mind.
It is funny, because if someone runs Aeolus and record the same notes,
he will make exactly the same file. The same file, made by two
different persons on different locations, with possibly two different
and maybe incompatible licenses. Wow.
We have two choices, and I have no clear preference for them. I don't
want to start thinking too much about licensing issues again (to
preserve my neurons, I still use them sometimes), so I will accept
most voted option:
- Copyright it and use a free license. Or better, let the user choose
between multiple free licenses.
- Use a notice to clearly reject all copyright and put the file under
public domain.
