BOTM BOTM April 2017: P.S. I Love You

[Jeanette]

Help

I've just imported the backing track in to audacity, I can hear it if I hit play but when I press record I can't hear the backing track, what have I done wrong?

Hi Jeanette,

First sit down and have a glass of wine. Then go to:

• Edit
• Preferences
• Recording

Put a check in the box next to "Overdub": play other tracks while recording a new one. That should fix it.
Have another glass of wine and congratulate yourself for solving the problem "getting by with a little help from your friend".

Sometimes I am so blonde....

I took overdub off when trying to add reverb for Sarabande earlier and wondered if that was the problem but couldn't find where to add it again

Thank you @jbtsax

You mean to say it's more than one bottle it's party time @trimmy

I'm just going to leave this here, naturally I think it could be so much better. It's only once through and ends rather abruptly. Hopefully more to follow but as ever any comments are appreciated.

Well done. That sounds good.

Only on my phone, hearing more of the backing will listen again later.

Ends abruptly, thought the leckie had gone !! 😱

Sounds nice

... naturally I think it could be so much better.

I have never recorded nething that I didn't think could be a hell of a lot better 🙂

It sounds fine to me, certainly better than the majority of my posts.

To me ears, it sound like you start each phrase half a beat too late, not sure if that's just my expectation or not?

 

[Colin the Bear]

That's jazz man. But don't come in too late or you won't get paid. 😉

 

[jbtsax]

Nice tone and intonation. This melody has lots of phrases that begin on beat 2 of the measure. If you can think of count 1 as 3 triplet eighth notes (quavers) it helps to measure how long to rest before coming in on count 2. In some cases when we wait until that rest to take a breath it makes us late coming in on the next note. The solution, of course, is to either take a faster breath or to take a breath a bit earlier. I love to hear your progress. Keep recording.

 

[Jeanette]

Thanks all, I just need to work on the timing still but I won't be beaten 🙂

What's the difference between an egg, a carpet and Jeanette.

You can beat an egg and a carpet 😉

@jbtsax Apart from noting that this starts with C pentatonic for alto and I like the tune I did not look very much at this tune and thread. I came back to it a few days ago, and realised that you have put a recoding of the melody with the backing track. Thank you. It is a great help to novice players like me.
