Sounds of the ASB

Now, you can listen to the sounds of the ASB over the internet. At present, all sounds are in .wav, .ra (Real Audio), and now MP3 format - and we hope to add more .mp3 recordings in the near future, as time (and space) permit!

Older recordings are generally in 8-bit mono with a low sampling rate to keep file sizes to a minimum. MP3 extracts are in stereo. As technology has advanced, and with the advent of high-speed home connectivity, recent recordings have been enhanced for your listening pleasure. Keep checking - we'll be adding more! If you'd like to let us know how much you enjoyed these recordings, feel free to sign our guestbook or drop us an email.

All recordings copyright © 1997 - 2008 The Austin Symphonic Band. All rights reserved.
