@Marc Adler For what I understand he's the audio-guru, recording every production across the whole platform.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc Adler Absolutely, and it's easier when we share the same piece, or set of pieces, all together. I also like the Challenge format as it has more playing submissions (videos),…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
@Don but lately they were mostly at 12PM EST, maybe it's a better timing for Martin. I also got the reminder for the event at noon, so it was planned (or at least entered in the platform) for that…

@Marc Adler There's this kit, a bit expensive but it works great, and I found alternatives on Amazon that works similarly at a lesser cost. It's worth a try, who knows!

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich Very good insights Ariel, I agree that some articulations (and most of the time not written) should be applied to make the music more alive, dynamic and flowing (#5).…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!

@Barney Nice work on #7, that's a tricky one, the sync between both hands mixing dotted rhythms on the right hand and slurs on the left hand is particularly subtle to achieve! 💪

@Barney You have to wave the sound of the pattern by bending the strings... 😂 No joke it's to indicate to repeat the box pattern.
