Getting a Great Performance - 01 (Notation Composer)

[rrayner]

Hi Sherry,

I just tested with the previous three tutorials, and they come through loud and clear in volume level. Just in case something was wrong yesterday, I retried this one from the direct link, and I can barely hear your voice, even with the speaker turned up full. This morning's testing was all in Firefox.

To be more thorough, I again tried the downloaded mp4 file, both in Quicktime (7.6.9 under XP), and Firefox, which invokes Quicktime. The volume level is much diminished, compared to the other tutorials.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for running those checks on your system for me. I've re-rendered the video with the volume level "up" (except those initial clicks - I had the recording session set to "enhance" mouse clicks, which was not my best move ever )

It'll take the upload a few minutes, so you might want to go have a cup of coffee/tea/whatever and then give it another try.

Thanks again for letting me know, and for checking it out

ttfn,
Sherry

That did the trick, Sherry. Thanks for making the change. I won't get a chance to go through the whole tutorial today -- gotta travel, but I'll get to it this week. Thanks, again. Ralph

Hi Sherry,

I finally had the time to check out this video (Hurricane Irene is keeping me indoors), and I think you've done a wonderful job. There are a number of things that I had already dug into, but it was very nice to get a proper explanation of what they do. Thankfully, there were some new nuggets for me. I tend to ignore the crawl stage with new applications, and go straight to running full speed. Once I've found a way to do something, I rarely dig into it farther.

The section on shortening the duration of notes, while leaving them notated, was one that I was doing the hard way, so this will save me a lot of time. Kudos!

Many thanks!

Ralph
