JT, i really liked the way you played "Feelings" with a Freeplay STYLE. Loads of 'feeling' and some lovely harmonies! When putting your video together, none of the pictures I wanted to use were the 'standard' 16:9 .. which meant that there would be 'black bars' on either side of the pictur...

Another look at BLACK BARS created on either side of a picture when the picture is not the correct ratio for the video ie.16/9. Earlier on in this Topic I had used ZOOM to get rid of the 'black bars' by re-sizing the pictures to 16:9. This time I tried using CROP .. but that did not work! Although ...

I think I am right in saying that the 3.0 will not work any faster than a 2.0 unless your computer has a dedicated 3.0 USB Port?

All the photos for this video I have taken with my mobile (set to 16:9). The program I have used to make the video is VideoPad by NCH Software (the 'Paid For' version). The main Effect I like to use is the 'Zoom & Pan' , and in this program they are 'custom' orientated. ie. I can Zoom IN or OUT ...

Now this is what can be done using VideoPad from NCH Software (this is the 'Paid For' version). All the photos I have taken with my mobile (set to 16:9).

Hugh

James,

Thanks for that!

Hi Torben,

Wonderful singer! Do you still go out with your singers and play for events?

Liked the piano in your backing.

Hugh

Ken,

Wasn't aware of this one. JohnT says it's Cliff, so have been to YouTube to look.

Cliff Richard - Saviour's Day (Official Video)

Hope all those crowds of people at the end didn't try to walk along that footpath at the top of the cliff!

Hugh

Hi John,

That was a cracker! Liked the voices you chose (Jon D's?).

Well, that's Christmas over for another year.

Hugh

JT,

That was very well done! Enjoyed that!

Hugh

Hi Ken,

Enjoyed the video .. and it is nice to hear something more classically oriented played on an organ.

Hugh

This topic has been updated so you can hear what the Metronome sounds like, and how it is used when making a recording.

Hugh

Ken,

Really lovely. That piano and guitar went well with the boy soprano's voice. A completely different sound when you brought in the organ, and as you say, to finish with a 'cathedral organ' really finished the piece off.

Hugh

Very Christmassy! Hugh

I know that things have changed and it is much more difficult these days to get bookings to 'play out'. Maybe for dancing, or old folks homes for them to have a 'sing-along'. But from what people tell me, it is much easier to get a booking if you sing as well as play. On Christmas Eve our family dec...

When I play something I like to use a LEFT HAND VOICE, so I thought I would elaborate a bit on how I use them. When you use a STYLE, there is one PART in the STYLE that sounds very much like a 'left hand voice' in that it makes a continuous sound .. and that is PAD . What I find is that whatever is ...

First, listen to this piece ( Away In A Manger ) and take particular note of the simplicity of the STYLE being used.

Don, This really makes me feel I am sitting in your Church and listening to you playing your Church Organ. It's a lovely carol (despite being in a minor key!) .. and the "Tierce de Picardie" at the end really does it for me (Picardie Third .. a major chord at the end when you are expecting...

Jon,

Another jolly one from you. Perfect for the Christmas season.

Hugh

Ken.

It's always nice to hear an organ playing at Christmas. And I too enjoyed that monkey with his 'BE HAPPY' message.

Hugh

Looks to me as if it was being a bit sn(e)akey, making himself at home in there and snaking about.

Hugh

Dave,

Your Roland organ produces some very good Church Organ/Choir sounds. Makes you feel you are right there in the Church listening.

Hugh

Ken,

Very relaxing. Love the sound of the piano. Some very sophisticated harmonies in this one.

Hugh

Ken,

That's just warmed me up. Love your playing.

Hugh

Ken, Very nice. Particularly liked the Trumpet .. (and the Muted Trumpet too!). One thing I really like when listening to you playing is that you always have the backing volume 'up' so we can hear it. It's the backing that gives all the harmony to the piece and should be a prominent part of the over...

John, That was beautifully played! Lovely Style and Voicing. One of the best pieces you have played! None of us know who listens as this particular Board is open to the General Public to view (unlike the Performance and Challenge Boards which are Members only . I will add this information to the Chr...
