Brilliant site APYAP !
All I need now is a recording device
Can anyone suggest any reasonably priced equipment/mic to record myself ?
I play piano, violin and occasional cello if that helps.
Thnx ,
Fiona
I bought a Logik MP3 player from PCWorld for £20. It has an inbuilt recorder and plugs into a USB port to transfer files to the computer (and thence to YAP).

Thanks for the replies.
My son as just had a new MP3 player for his birthday, that could be an option !
I've just started to download 'Audacity' software.

I don't think you need to apologise for such an encouraging comment.
I'm going to need to wait till broadband it back for the CWB I think, or it'll take forever!

Very easy - encode them down to a reasonable size using the program of your choice (Windows Movie Maker works well), email to me and I can put them up as if they were any other recording

Schubertiad
Dec 30 2006, 09:17 PM
I don't think you realise what kind of computer illiterate idiot you're dealing with. The word 'encode' has already got me in a cold sweat. I'll wait until i've got it on film before asking again, but be warned...

Dec 30 2006, 09:26 PM
It's okay, I'm sure we'll be able to help, or find a website that says how to do it step by step. Do you have some means of getting it on the computer?
Schubertiad
Dec 30 2006, 09:30 PM
Not sure yet. It's not my camera, but it's a fairly new one, so i assume it must have the necessary cables. My friend also has a laptop, so i'll try and rope her into helping me do all that. It will probably be in a week or so.

I believe we will - we'll need to have a look at the difficulty level of the part though Oddball. Ideally, we'd like as many people involved in each work as possible - so if you can double some parts up for me, it'll mean your piece is more likely to 'make the cut'.
Oddball
Feb 10 2007, 08:54 PM
If I send you the .sib file then Barry, could you give some suggestions? I'm open to anything being doubled / swapped for another instrument if necessary / doubling.
