Sway 2006 - the full treatment

I spent a few hours working on Sway this weekend.

Started, as with the demo, with an acoustic guitar track, added a guide vocal, then drums, bass, two electric guitar tracks, and piano.

Quite pleased with it, really. And with the brilliant innovation of Castpost, we can have an embedded file in the post. Just click the play button. It disappears for a sec, then returns and starts to play. Depending on the speed of your connection, you might get smoother playback by hitting the back button after it's loaded up a bit.

Performance of the playback link below will vary. During office hours, it doesn't seem very clever, which is a shame, because you'd have to be truly dedicated to bother with it. Shouldn't people be working? If it's very slow, you could let it load in the background by clicking the pause button and waiting, but why should you bother with that? Doubtless Castpost will get better when it moves out of Alpha...

You can grab it by following this link to the RSS feed, which should give you the opportunity to "download the linked file" - which seems to work a lot better than the streaming.
