One of the things one has to perfect is matching the music to the fingers 'playing'. Not difficult to do if you can just grab and 'slide' the music track along a timeline .. and check out how it's doing. I did this video below for Colin Leaney, taking video clips from pexels.com and then matching th...
As my parents lived and worked in East Africa in an area where there were no schools, I had to be educated in UK .. and ended up at a Preparatory School in Haywards Heath in Sussex (as a 'boarder'). My parents paid for me to have 'piano lessons', which I hated (didn't like the teacher). But then one...
Genos, and, for that matter the other Yamaha 'Arranger Keyboards', were not designed just to 'plug and play'. They were designed for musicians to create music .. an expression of what is going through their heads. Now this video is way beyond anything I could do, as on the whole I just use my Tyros ...
Thanks for doing this for us. I have a Samsung .. an Android phone .. and I have bought a tripod holder for it .. but we have just moved into a flat and that tripod holder is in a box somewhere! When I find it, I'll have a go at doing this with my Tyros 4.
Replacing the MIC recording from a camera with an MP3 from the keyboard. If you use a camera (or a mobile) to make a recording of yourself playing your keyboard, then the quality of the sound will be nothing like the AUDIO you would get when recording directly from the keyboard as WAV or MP3. When ...
When watching as an embedded video, if you hover over the bottom right symbol you see this: http://www.ar-group.org/Files/FullScreen2.jpg Clicking on the square fills your screen with the video so you get a really big picture. Then don't move your mouse and all the video info will disappear. To get ...
Love this song! Those little counter-melodies (using 'strings') sound really great with the melody line. Nice bit of multitracking! And I do like the 'vibrato strings' playing the melody in the second part of the song. Makes it!
Another I found of yours. Just loved how you played this one! You entered it for the January 2021 Challenge (so that goes back a bit!) so have COPIED this one over as well.
The Music with Movies board is specifically for 'scenic' movies (ie. photographs or videos of scenery) with musical accompaniment played by a Member . This new board is for videos where you can watch the player 'playing' .. so you can see what buttons they press; or videos that show how the keyboard...
This is how it used to be done. None of this grabbing 'samples' and putting them in to create the backing. The music was full of harmony, with interesting chord progressions that one just wanted to hear over and over again.
Why is modern music so bad? a2mdlxbuXz0 Some comments from under the video: I'm 17, and personally, I don't understand today's pop music, there is no movement, boring choruses and the idea of bridges or instrumental solos is practically extinct. Personally I love those older rock bands that really ...
An amazing clash of sounds! I think "inharmonious" is the word for it.
From the Cambridge Dictionary:
Inharmonious - adjective (MUSIC) Making an unpleasant musical sound, or not making a pleasant harmony: The loud inharmonious wailing continued for hours.
I was saying that a 'weepie' or 'tear jerker' is either that because it has words that tell a really sad story .. Foster & Allen - Nobody's Child QN1NN_3Q_WU Or because the music itself sounds sad. How about this one, which I have just found on YouTube: Saddest Song Ever, Barber's Adagio, Theme ...
Den .. that's cray! The drums are definitely on the RIGHT ! I am wearing Sennheiser headphones that come complete with a stereo jack plug (ie. I haven't wired it up myself). When I plug my headphones into my Tyros 4 and 'pan' to the left, the sound comes out of my LEFT earpiece. Also, when you watch...
Oh dear! For daylight saving time (ie. British Summer Time) they should have moved the stones FORWARD one hour .. not BACK one hour. They'll have to come back and do it again.
I have come across a YouTube video (an old one!) which really shows how STEREO can be used effectively to enhance the music you are listening to. And this has nothing to do with 'positioning instruments on the stage'. If you listen carefully you can hear the drums coming in on the right; the bass si...
There are times where using Audacity to speed up a recording just does not work. Take a listen to this: 1795259942497532 This is being played at 90bpm . Now listen to this .. Foster and Allen singing it .. at 160bpm . opgSQWLK3IM Speeding up the MP3 using the bpm method ... http://www.ar-group.org/F...
A White Sports Coat (And A Pink Carnation). This was sung by Marty Robbins. I have set the METRONOME going on my keyboard so I can check the TEMPO songs are being played at. This one below is at 114bpm (beats per minute). zD8MnvyAi6I Now this is a number we used to play in the 50s in the band at sc...
Dave, Liked your version! You managed to get the clock to STOP too! In answer to your question: Arizona doesn't do that time change thing. For those that do, what's the future like? The answer has to be ... BRIGHTER!! :lol: :roll: ie. We get longer evenings of light in the summer! Here's another ver...
Tried to re-set my Grandfather's clock by putting it forward one hour on Saturday night. But ... My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself Though it weighed not a pennyweight more It was bought on the morn'...
An 'early' Easter this year! Church services; children at home from school; many of us going on holiday. And we have put our clocks forward one hour for the start of British Summer Time. From this point on we get the lighter evenings. The Challenge for April is to play anything (even loosely) that r...
Den has pointed out to me that there is no need to use Audacity to do this as you can adjust the TEMPO on the keyboard itself. Well yes, you can .. but not if you have recorded as AUDIO. Den is talking about recording as MIDI .. then when you play the MIDI across and record as AUDIO you can set the ...
How to Increase/Decrease the TEMPO of an MP3 using Audacity. I remember once going to listen to a keyboard acquaintance of mine playing at a local pub. He said to me that a lot of players play their pieces much too fast .. almost as if they are in a rush to finish and get home! So he made sure he k...
In this recording, it took me quite a while to actually start playing after pressing the RECORD button. Have a listen to the below. Hang in there! There really is some music on this track! 1794591672472147 Obviously it is unacceptable to have such a long wait before the music starts playing. We can ...
In The Mood How I played it (above) is In The Mood as we played it in the Duke of York School Band in the late 1950s. Same beat. Then in 1989, along came Jive Bunny with his version of it ..played the same way we used to play it. Jive Bunny And The MasterMixers - Swing The Mood 4iDwk4n39R0 Now you ...
Feelings Nothing more than feelings Trying to forget my feelings of love Teardrops Rolling down on my face Trying to forget my feelings of love Feelings For all my life I'll feel it I wish I've never met you, girl. How sad is that? A real tear jerker! 1747248774552325 Feelings -iW0FVLd-3M Hugh
Bobbo, I have always liked the way you have played this piece! Ron: As a Bass player I'm sure you will appreciate the bass the keyboard player is playing. Comment from under the video: That walking bass played by the keyboardist, is AMAZING. And another comment, underneath: Absolutely. His comping a...
How many times have you made a recording as an MP3, and then some time later wished you'd had the 'balance' set up differently when you had done the original recording? All is not lost, as you can change the amount of Bass and Treble afterwards using Audacity ie. there is a 'Tone Control' you can ap...
Ken, Have done some research on this, and hope this is the song you were asking us about. Myfanwy (a woman's name derived from annwyl, beloved) is a popular Welsh song, composed by Joseph Parry and first published in 1875. Parry wrote the music to lyrics written by Richard Davies ('Mynyddog'; 1833-7...
Weepies and tear jerkers can either be pieces of music that make you feel like that (ie. they may be in a minor key and sound very sad), or have words that make you feel this way. Like this one ... Now and then there's a fool such as I Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you You taught me ...

Too difficult to expect an answer to this one! If you have two hours to spare, there is some lovely scenery in this .. and it's all in English. The INTRO is Grieg's Piano Concerto in Am.
