Help! I'm trying to figure out how to get good sound on video. Please skip the mic placement advice, I know about that. This is worse than that. I need help with equipment and programs. I have Macbook, Garage Band, good mics, 2-channel Focusrite digital interphase that I'm using. I just go directly from the headphone jack of the interface to the mic jack of the canon camera. I tried using Garage Band and Imovie but I had a delay problem/sync between the video and audio. How can I learn this?

Just saw that guitarist Jim Hall passed away. Very sad. A master guitarist that played with musicality, subtlety, nuance, taste, understatement, clarity,...the list goes on. Many guitarists revered Jim Hall. I would like to add that although I didn't know Jim, he seemed like a real gentleman and beautiful person. Gary, maybe we could get your thoughts about Jim since you knew him and recorded with him? Thanks, Ed

More ideas and approaches to apply to working on Alone Together, and a million other tunes!

Me and Tony are studying some barok music. this is my version on this bach prelude for cello. I know I have 4 mistakes

I have been listening to the amazing tune Loro by Egberto Gismonti for several years, but never attempted to learn it. I bought "The Latin Real Book" http://www.amazon.com/Latin-Real-Book-C/dp/1883217059/, which had it in there, so decided to try it. A bit ambitious, I know. Here is tonight's practice session.

Hi Everyone,
Hard to believe but I've just recorded my January show for the new year! As always, I've lined up some great vibes players and their music for you to hear. I know I am preaching to the choir...what a fun choir it is.

Much thanks to Roger Clerc for sending me this video at Pasic 2013 Mallettech booth. Tony and I didnt get a chance to get a photo in together, thankfully Roger took a short video of the Omega Vibraphone and Tony Demostrating some of the features.

This is my assignment for Tony's Lesson. Learn the solo and play it. I also attached the solo with out the record.

I downloaded this tune from Christos' lesson. I had never heard it before. I was sitting at the piano reading it down and was captivated by it. Such a beautiful song. I'm playing it here just trying to be true to the melody and adding some simple accompaniment/counterpoint. The tune plays itself. Thanks Christos! Ed
