Wow.. Sorry Y'all, Been pre occupied with a few rabbit holes I've been going down.  I'm trying to record the Balade challenge and My phone does horrible sounding videos,  I'm still getting used to Windows for doing videos, I've been a Linux user for many many years.  Windows has come a long way since I've used it.  I'm thinking of going to Mac but for now I have a pretty rock'n Windows machine.  Got a ton to get done today before I can practice and then back to learning to make videos with this machine... Any Help would be much appreciated...

Peace...

I had that problem (bad sound) but posted anyway a while back.  

One option (assuming you do not have a pro recording system) is that if you have an iPhone/iPod with garageband, maybe you could record with that at the same time using the webcam or video camera just for video and then synch up later (got a clapboard?  hehe) - kind of annoying to do all that work with video editing software though.  I would suggest just making as simple as possible and just posting even if the sound is not perfect - I learned a lot from the experience.

I have been thinking of just getting one of the clips that holds your phone at the same time attaching it to the guitars headstock. That way I can get a recording of my song and you can see the fretboard. That's pretty simple 🙂

I was trying to used my phone cause my board went out.  the sound is horrid, LoL. I just got a new board. Tascam Model 12.  New board new learning curve.  My hands have decided to flare up as well.  I am use talk to type now cause it's just to painful to even one finger type.  Ugh.  My fingers just lock up this time of year. I'll get it fingered out soon (haha, I made a funny, lol) I used StudioOne to record and mix.  I'll have it figured out soon...   and the expierence.  I need much more of that.  Have the cool gear, just need to learn out to use it. I'll be back soon.

That's an excellent Idea.  My phone is so bad.  Very bad, so much bad.  I don't have an iPhone so...  I'll be upgrading soon.  but for a few weeks my hands are out of action and I have a new board, Tascam Model 12.  Interphase/Recorder/Midi Controller, My hands at the moment, Using talk to text at the moment.  one finger typing is, well it hurts...  I'll be back soon.  Ugh... Thanks...

That must be annoying for you.  I hope your fingers feel better soon and you have fun learning about your new cool gear.

If you work with a laptop or computer you might use the Zoom Q2n 4K as a webcam. That one gives great results on sound and picture.

I am sorry to hear that. That might come from nutrition - if your blood is too sour or you have tension from your shoulders.

Hi HP, how are you? 

I was trying to create a post for sharing a song and somehow I got stuck at the step where it asked to specify the forum.  I hit the "Create" button on the top right hand side of the site and the drop down menu did not seem to work when I tried to select this forum and so when I hit the continue button, it was a required field and didnt let me continue.  I know you are busy and it is not urgent, but I thought you should know - I am using a Windows machine and I tried with Google Chrome and also Microsoft Edge Browsers.  Same problem with the "Create New Content" button on the forums page.

Hey Sara,

I'm ok - not so busy just occupied since my sister passed away these days.

To open your topics you have to go into the students club - hit students club and the open a new topic - view the picture.

Hi HP, I am so sorry for your loss.  I cannot imagine how awful that must be for you and your family.  Thank you for replying to my message at such a time.

It's ok - it was not a suprise. I am unfortunatly the only remaining part of my familly. Only her kids and here husband were at the ceremony yesturday and me. But there is also a good side on this - I was her counseller and music theraphist in the past months and my therapy concept worked - she was in complete peace at the end - I will pick up this new path now in my music and work.

It must have been a good feeling to have helped her in that way.  I am glad that you have been able to find out about this new path to take also.  I sense you would be very good at something like that based on the way you can communicate in your videos so well about the ways in which the emotions and music are connected.

Thats in fact a plan - but I will do that on my farbmusik YouTube channel. I tried to bring up the topic on the HPCrazy channel a few times also with the meditation tutorials but somehow the topic was not so popular. I think with Astrology and the colors ( Farbmusik ) it will work out.

I am glad that you will be adding this new aspect to Farbmusik.  I started getting interested in these topics via Carl Jung and was so surprised when I discovered that he used to live not so far from where you live.  Probably there is something about the atmosphere and landscapes of Switzerland that helps to inspire new ideas about psychology and spirituality.  I am looking forward to seeing what you do next.

I didn't know C.G.Jung was living in Switzerland now I checked where exactly he lived and it's just 5 km from my place 😄 You can check google maps. I am in Egg ZH and he was in Küsnacht ZH.

I launched a website about that concept which I developed in german in Nov. - my sister was my first client and she was in completly peace when she left. So we achieved what was the goal in her case. Now I am starting to spread the word a bit now and the response in very good till now. You can check http://www.sternentherapie.com

Yeah, I know - I was researching his country house in Kusnacht where he did most of his most important writing and was surprised to see the name of your town nearby on the map.

The website looks good - it looks like an interesting concept.  I just listened to the Farbmusik concert - it was really good.  I was inspired to draw in my sketchbook while I listened.  Wishing you the best and thanks!

Yes as I said it's just 5 km and in Summer I go there for Swimming 🙂 Maybe there is something in the water. 😄 But serious - Küsnacht is a place of rich and sophisticated people so maybe thats one of the reasons.

I have my first customers who took readings with the music and they seem to love it. 🙂 I am doing astrology for many years but just besides music and now I just wrote a concept.
