Hello again... time for the 1st Sarabande: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fohR6Ocfsx4
Sure with this finger would hurry up and completely heal, still have to wrap the fingertip to play.

Wow.
The Geminiani Duo, Movement I! The recording quality of II... oh well... How did you do the setup for the Sarabande? Eustace

Yeah, the recording quality on everything from that recital is kind of unfortunate... that Beethoven sonata could've been great with decent recording equipment. some movements are just camcorder audio because some (expletive) was tapping their foot or something on the mic!
setup for the Sarabande didn't work as well as for the Courante I think. this was on a different microphone, the Apogee Mic, plugged into my iPad. Courante was Blue Yeti plugged into my iPhone 5. Made one big mistake with the levels this time, was set quite a bit lower than I thought.. oh well. You might like this duet... it's me on both parts... https://soundcloud.com/michael-corman/va...o-ticciati

*********************** "Sorry! We can't find that track. Did you try to access a private track, but were not logged in? Maybe the track has been removed." •••••••••••••••••••• I'm not up on current mics; I'm from the era of Altec and AT condensers, and the ubiquitous Shure 55s. I still have a couple of the latter. Also, egg cartons on the walls, and old oriental carpets on the floor Do you know what burnt old oriental carpet smells like? There are a few working Audio Engineers hanging out around here who know about this USB stuff; maybe they will chime in. Now, back to Bach: I'm a bit of a dilettante; I like what I like. I like Ormandy's Toccata and Fugue, because, among other things, I like how he brings the Cellos in. I know that he is considered old-fashioned, but everybody else seem to rush the opening notes, without care for judicious pausing, and maybe it's because we are so used to hearing long-decaying organ notes that a little silence here and there may be called for when scored for orchestra. Oops. For those others bored by these things: Yo-yo Ma-ma! Eustace

Weird. About the soundcloud link, seems to be working for me even logged out, is anyone else able to get through to it?
I'm really just starting to learn about recording decent sound through trial and error.... Seems like it would be good to use more than one mic, but I can't really do that if I'm using my phone or ipad for video. Syincing the video to audio recorded separately seems like a huge pita? Also I see people pretty often who record the track, get everything set audio wise and then do the video later, but it rarely ends up looking 100% in sync. You hit on one of the best aspects of Bach's music there; so much room for interpretation and individuality. I personally have roughly 20 different recordings of the cello suites, and don't agree 100% wi any of them, though many are simply amazingly well played. Glad there are more music geeks around here!
