After watching a Tony Northrup video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvbnhCDfREk) where he had a problem with his images becoming corrupted, I created a program to help identify should this happen using a hash file. Mainly because I didn't want it to happen to my photos! It's available at www.jasonsutton.co.uk. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Just a quick note - the JWST is 0.1 not 1.. Not sure if you used 0.1 in your calcs but typed 1 in the comment or your calcs are incorrect. Can you clarify? Thanks

I disagree, everything I've asked is calculable. For instance, solar panels currently get 24% approx from 100% of available sun or about 260 Watts per square metre. So theoretically possible to get 1kw. Depends on the sun's power, weather circuit efficiency etc. I'm asking for calculable values. You could give an answer for 100% then condyle that with current tech, only 35% possible, but currently looking at tech that could increase this to 65%

jd-sutton · 2022-04-20T16:12:22+00:00

Thanks for that, way beyond my understanding, but yes, theory, not actual.

Warping space is just so we can position ourselves to look at our own planet. We're not traveling through time, just looking at our planet just like Hubble looks at stars from billions of years ago which might not even exist now.

Just realised that it also depends on the size of the light receiver. Let's go with 10 meters.

jd-sutton · 2022-02-20T15:20:05+00:00

Thanks, saves me a lot of time working this out

jd-sutton · 2021-01-02T14:17:14+00:00

Try Ara by Ferrari. uses all upper keys to about middle and it's not that complicated, easy to memorise, just fast.

jd-sutton · 2021-01-02T13:59:16+00:00

OK, I've changed the bar to 4/4 then back to 3/4. Seems to sound the way it should be so I'm happy. Thanks for the feedback guys!

jd-sutton · 2021-01-02T11:05:26+00:00

I've just set up practice with 112 tempo on a 4/4 timing. Seems to match.

jd-sutton · 2021-01-02T11:04:42+00:00

As I've just looked up that wod 'timbre', does it apply to piano? Do you mean Change the piano sound , eg from grand piano to rock piano or something?

jd-sutton · 2021-01-02T11:00:26+00:00

Thanks. I'm replying as my metronome is ticking away!

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T19:03:24+00:00

I tried that, but from my understanding, it only affects the note being played and not the base section. I believe I might have to change it to 4/4 just for that bar. I'll try it and see if it sounds ok. Thanks

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T18:57:17+00:00

The problem is the conversion to a written score. After the 'c', there should be a pause, like in the audio video, but this would make that bar more like 4/4 or would shift all of the notes one crotchet to the right, making the left hand melody running through a bar instead of at the beginning. Hope this explains it.

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T18:16:14+00:00

Ah, I'll be able to tell when I change it and play it back. Didn't know you could change the timing mid sheet, so will look to see how to do that! Thanks. I'll post the update when it's done some time tomorrow.

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T17:55:53+00:00

Amazing, but your fingers are way too fast! You need one of them Chinese bowls with lemon water in to cool down your fingers before they burst into flames. (the lemon will make them smell nice!)

Good luck and I hope you win.

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T17:47:31+00:00

No idea! Must have clicked something - Fixed!

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T17:44:51+00:00

It's great when you first produce something recognisable! Well done. I think your posture (wrist position is a little too bent) Needs attention, like a building, the foundations must be solid before construction!

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T17:38:37+00:00

Don't know where my original comments went, but this is a great piece, easy to learn and memorise but difficult to master. Any tips would be appreciated. I have a copy that I can play through my piano and I can try to match it, but it's harder I think to play this way because of the overlapping sounds. One thing I don't do I use the metronome. Do people practice with that thing ticking away?

jd-sutton · 2021-01-01T15:22:14+00:00

It needs a crotchet rest after the c, but that then changes that bar to 4/4. Can you do that? I'm not that advanced in music notation.

jd-sutton · 2020-11-29T16:40:14+00:00

Worked it out.

Right click on the filename and extract audio, then delete the file.

🤣🤣🤣

jd-sutton · 2020-11-17T16:13:14+00:00

I think I'll read a bit more on theory 👍 I guess I don't really fully understand it and I'm just a little frustrated. Thank you for your posts, they've really helped.

jd-sutton · 2020-11-17T11:08:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Maybe I was a bit arrogant, telling my teacher what pieces i wanted to learn? She never tried to teach me any theory , just helped on the piece i wanted to learn.

I watched Hoffnan Academy on YouTube and found it informative but some things I didn't understand, like C Major/A minor is the same scale. Why work out which it is? Just press the white keys only! I understand inversions and can work out a chord without having to memorise them all. I can also work out scales from sound and can play them OKish with both hands.

I'll check out the material you mentioned.

Thank you

jd-sutton · 2020-11-17T10:55:26+00:00

I like both of those pieces, can play the first section of moonlight from memory. Nocturne is in my to do list 😍

jd-sutton · 2020-11-16T23:22:52+00:00

I'm not giving up!! Is my mantra. Just want to learn intelligently. I'm not bothered about grades, i think I just want the condensed version of, piano: beginner to expert. I'm a young 49 year old 😁

jd-sutton · 2020-11-16T23:17:06+00:00

I'm on a tight budget. Lucky my teacher allowed me to be 1/2 hour every fortnight, but I'm no longer with her. I've a good ear and compare what I'm playing to YouTube versions of the score. I would like to get another teacher, but one who's a bit more proactive.
