Music 30/30 – Day 21
Another day, and more homework completed, including a more or less successful attempt at analysis. Some of this stuff is starting to actually sink in, so I count that as a win. I also feel like today’s piano practice actually went fairly well, I tried a couple of the tracks that I haven’t really played and did a decent job with both. It’s possible that they are just extra easy, but I’m going to count that as a win as well.

In other news: an actual video today! At least, I hope. I still have to try to edit it, so there’s still plenty of space for things to go wrong, but as of the time of my original posting, things are at least looking hopeful.
I’ve recently picked up a replacement for my old and ailing smartphone, opting for the at this time current flagship device from the Samsung Galaxy line: the Note 9. It’s supposed to have one of the better cameras available at the moment, and actually has a full HD front facing camera, which should let me get decent video quality while still getting feedback on the video without having to mirror my screen off to a laptop. And, I was pleased to find out, I have the option of directly connecting my digital voice recorder and microphone to it for improved audio quality without the need for recording a separate audio track and combining it with the video in the editing stage. If the video that it produces actually plays nice with my editor, or I can find an alternative editor that does play nice with it, then the new setup should be considerably more reliable and efficient.
