Re: Audacity 3.2.1 & the new 'cloud' for storing music files

You have compiled an excellent series of articles on using Audacity. Everybody should be able to save their recordings here should they decide to leave Box.
These deserve to be included within the instruction manual for Audacity.

Well done, Hugh.

Re: What is your broadband speed?

I have now progressed to full fibre into my house. Right now download was 168 Mbps and upload 55 Mbps. What a difference after years of 1.4 Mbps download.

Re: A good video of the Shand Button Accordion

Thanks for the explanation Den, but the Button Box as it is known in Scotland, will always remain a mystery to me.
Brandon is a fine player of this instrument. He smiles while Jimmie Shand never did.

The Warrior Soldier

I posted this for Remembrance Day. I recorded this 10 years ago and I cannot recall where I sourced the melody. A nice arrangement IMO, but possibly might have been better to omit the bagpipe section. However many Scottish Regiments were deserving of being remembered along with all the other nationa...

Re: Recognizing the key a song has just been played in

Yes, A minor is the original key. In the mid section it changes briefly into C major and F major. And NO, I do not have perfect pitch so I had to Google the answer .

A very interesting article Hugh. To be perfectly honest, until recently I had completely forgotten about the Harmony/Echo button.

Re: Do you 'take breaths' when playing wind instruments?

That is why I try and make my playing of some instruments sound as realistic as I can. On woodwind or brass instruments this is easily done by ta...
