I am more than happy to play with whatever you will send me either 
off or on line. E-mail me or post on line, we can handle any format.

Being older myself I will take the liberty to speak up front.
Once you loose the stuff over 5500, it does not mean you didn't learn 
what you learned.  It might mean that you want an aprentice to teach 
and show the way, and help in the final edit.  I have lost my fine 
vision with age but with protection so far I have kept my ears over 
what any rocker would envy.  I will still search for any that wish to 
follow.

about 5500Hz. I often receive comment that some of my recordings have 
hiss. With my built in hiss filter I don't hear it. I'm using ME66 or 
ME 63 mics, XLR connectors to an MDP500 set at 5 on the recording 
level. The tracks are transferred to a PC with a Sound Blaster card 
and are edited when necessary with Cool Edit pro using the graphic 
equaliser and then burned to a CD. I have Spectrogram 8 but when I 
set it to - 90db there is considerable noise over most of the audio 
spectrum. At - 60db most of the noise does not show.
