The clapping exercise (timing)

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Aug 10, 2005 12:49 pm

It sucks ass. When I press ctrl or spacebar the clap comes with a delay. Can it be fixed?

do you have a midi plug in your computer? It`s the best way that I found

Hello Guest,

A sound card with Wavetable technology can give you a very good sound quality for the MIDI instruments. It is however important that your sound card generates its instrument sounds from a hardware Wavetable, not a software Wavetable. Software Wavetable sound generation leads to annoying delays between pressing the spacebar, and hearing the sound.

EarMaster can compensate for the delay in your sound card. When you activate this compensation, EarMaster will use a wave file for the clap sound to avoid using the delayed sound in your sound card.

Go to the Tools menu and choose Program settings and find the MIDI devices tab. Here you can Synchronize rhythms by adjusting the delay.

If the internal compensation is not acceptable or possible then the only solution is to buy another sound card.

In version 5.0 yeah!
Just enable the mic, and before that plug a mic in!There is a mic installation wizard also!

I will try it because with the space bar, I don`t like it so much. It`s not always easy when you have to go fast. I used to play drum and played things harder than that

Which instrument do you play now?

Firefox · Post by **Firefox** » Sep 17, 2005 1:23 pm

everything I don't need to play with legs.Harpsichord,piano,recorder,snare alone(but it sucks),and some guitar,bass guitar,sometimes viola da gamba.I can use my legs but one of them is so weak I can't use it too much unless it hurts a lot.So, no more double bass drums and blast-beats!

I am not a good player,I enjoy composing and I want to know what one can do with a specific instrument, that's why I a playing several ones.

If you want to write, you need to know the instruments that you want to use in your songs

Firefox · Post by **Firefox** » Sep 18, 2005 10:02 am

Exactly, so I know what one can do with each instrument.I know their ambitus, tuning, conditions of use etc.pretty cool to be able to play the same tune with different colors.
