CyberBass
is not beautiful or artistic. It does not playback dynamics or vocal
nuances. It is a note bashing site.
CyberBass
generally does not play back orchestral accompaniment. Although you will find
some pieces with accompaniment sequenced lightly in the background.
CyberBass
does not playback solo/quartet parts. Individuals blessed with such talent
are typically excellent sight readers.
CyberBass
is not perfect. These scores have been painstakingly sequenced in MIDI
format,
but humans are not 100% accurate and neither is CyberBass.
CyberBass is not a mega internet
enterprise such as EBAY, Yahoo, or Google. It is not a million dollar enterprise, but rather earns enough
to pay for itself.

I created
CyberBass
as an aid to rapidly learn and perfect music, freeing the conductor for more
artistic endeavors. The advent of INTERNET provided a great medium for
posting MIDI files so that others in the chorus could use this tool.
CyberBass
is not 100% and requires your feed back if you find errors. Please
submit problems with the score or the site to
CyberBass.
If you like the site
or found it helpful, please sign the
CyberBass
guest book.

The
CyberBass Project maintains a listing a
choirs on the Choirs Worldwide
page. These represent groups that
have used CyberBass
in the past. Any choir that wishes to be listed may make a
request via email to the
CyberBass. Please include your choirs home city, state,
and country, and a website URL (if it has one).
The
CyberBass Project also maintains a list
of upcoming concerts for choirs that are using
CyberBass
learning files to prepare for a future concerts. Again an
email request suffices to be
listed, however, only choirs that are using
CyberBass files
that are currently online will be included on the list. This
restriction is in place because it would otherwise be impossible to
maintain a dynamic concert listing.
Choirs and/or individuals from choirs
are also acknowledged on
CyberBass learning pages if they have
made a contribution (i.e. a score and/or midi tracks) that have made
those learning files possible. These listings are included
only if the choir and/or individual wishes to be included on the
learning page.

Why does My CD Fail to Play? |
I have
successfully produced hundreds of learning CDs, but occasionally
a CyberBass customer will be unsuccessful in getting a CD to
play properly. Here are some reasons that a CD might no play.
(1) The CDs are
recorded in a format called CDR. This format is compatible to
most CD players manufactured after about 2000. Prior to
that time it the format had not yet gained enough prominence to
have compatibility packages built into the players.
(2) I use CD labels to title my CD rather than printing directly
onto the CD. Some CD players might be sensitive to this,
though this is usually not the case.
(3) Errors may have been introduced in the burning process. I
burn each CD upon receiving an order so that the latest changes
or corrections are incorporated into each CD.
(4) The CDs may have been damaged in shipment. This usually
does not happen. Do you notice any cracks, or smudges on the
playing surface.
If you can not get the new CD to work, return it to CyberBass,
and I will issue a full refund.

Why am I Getting a Blank Page? |
Getting a blank page? Here is a suggested fix by one
CyberBass user
Open Internet
Explorer>Tools>Options>Security>Trusted Sites. Copy and Paste
www.cyberbass.com into the Site. Will probably need to
un-check the box there that says something about Requires
Secure website. since your site is not secure (https://).

7. Can CyberBass Files
be Downloaded? |
CyberBass is a free online resource. The files themselves
can not be downloaded to your computer.
Audio CDs are available for most CyberBass presentations of the
major works for a nominal price. Price includes tax and
shipping.

8. Why does Itunes Retrieves the Wrong Track Names when I Insert my
Choral Learning CD? |
This
has been an issue that many have recently experienced.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not retrieve track names from the
CDs themselves, but rather from a database at that is
located at
www.gracenote.com . Though I upload track names to
the database, Gracenote does not recognized the difference
between my soprano, alto, tenor, and bass CDs.
Consequently, it retrieves track names for the first choral
part
that it encounters for that particular CD.
Apple offers some tips on how to manually correct the track
names at:
