Teardrop Waltz

[Bren]

My first attempt at multi-screen, using acapella on iPad (both new to me) , trimming on Mac and uploading to YouTube.





Was the volume OK, or too quiet, or faded/cut in and out?
Some friends are saying that but I can't replicate it.

If I was starting again, I would check the tuning on my mandos again before just grabbing them off the wall 🤨, and only have the second mando coming in on the harmony parts - it seemed out of tune on the unison bits.

To be fair to myself, this was done "on the fly" in snatched breaks from work and other duties.

I definitely need to learn more about recording, EQ, mic placement, editing, uploading to YouTube, managing YouTube account etc. Not to mention playing mandolin 🤨. But I'm happy I made that first step at last.

Teardrop Waltz is a tune by Canadian Metis fiddler Reg Bouvette, which he put out in the 1970s, I think.

Wonderful rendition Bren, very enjoyable. I love the harmonies! Well played, and the video production is much better than anything I can do. I’ve never even attempted split screen and yours looks great.

A couple of thoughts:

1. Every great journey begins with the first step.
2. You will ever be your toughest critic.
