Ptarmigan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Inspired by David Hansen's lovely multi-tracked Emma's Waltz yesterday, I decided to have a crack at it, using Garage Band, on my new iMac & this is the result: Josefin's Waltz I just used the system's Mic, but I suspect I could get a much better sound quality, if I could only work out how to connect my own stereo Mic to my iMac. By the way, I'm playing my Aeola Baritone / Treble & my Sobell Mandolin. Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Drinkwater Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Full proper title, is Josefin's Dopvals, meaning christening waltz. You concertina sounded a bit too strident to me, Dick. Edited January 22, 2012 by Chris Drinkwater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 Full proper title, is Josefin's Dopvals, meaning christening waltz. You concertina sounded a bit too strident to me, Dick. Yes I know Chris, but this was just my first attempt to record with Garage Band & the Mic on the iMac is, I think, mostly designed for voice. I haven't worked out how to connect a real Mic to my iMac yet, so hopefully when I do, it'll do a better job. I also had the Concertina track's sound level way down low. Anyway, with a bit of luck my next effort will be a little more successful. Cheers, Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindizzy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Ah-ha! I knew that I'd heard it somewhere before. I have a lovely version of this on a CD by Alastair Fraser(violin) and Natalie Haas (cello) called Fire and Grace Here's a youtube - much overwhelmed by audience noise! (edited to get the cellists name right!) Edited January 24, 2012 by spindizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Hersh Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have a lovely version of this on a CD by Alastair Fraser and Natalie McMasters called Fire and Grace Ah yes, a pair of real master musicians, those two, although that Cello version is hard to beat. Cheers, Dick Agreed, though I'm also fond of the version on Ralph Jordan's CD. It's a (deservedly) popular tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooops - of course you're right .... confusion reigns, I'll correct my earlier post. Thanks for noticing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
