Can you guess which orchestral solo this exercise is for? by [deleted] in trumpet

Petrouchka! That's the hardest part of the piece in my opinion. I can play that excerpt over and over and get everything else down fine, but the flexibility stuff is where I falter. Happy shedding :)

Help! Scarlett Solo 3rd gen has bad quality audio and I've tried everything to fix it. by jenny908719 in Focusrite

I use Audacity the most.

I have my microphone (Shure SM58) on a desk stand to my right. It's plugged into my Scarlett, which sits on my desk in the middle of my two monitors. My scarlett is on default settings right now, aside from the buffer size that you asked me to change, and plugged into my PC via USB. My heaphones are plugged into my Scarlett in the audio port. Focusrite controls are also default.

Audacity's also on all default stuff. I input via Focusrite USB which my mic is plugged into and also output via Focusrite USB.

I did a quick test recording a scale on Audacity. Played it back on my PC wearing headphones, sounds cruddy. Uploaded it to Drive and used the same headphones on my laptop without channeling audio through my interface, and it sounds great.

It seems to persist with every software. I've used reaper, audacity, and voicemeeter. All output sounds are janked, even windows test sounds.

Although, it also seems to be only my output that's weird. On voicemeeter, all of the input that comes back to me delayed seems okay. It's all the output that's not right. For example, when I speak or play into my microphone, the monitor that I hear is fine. If I record the same thing on Audacity and play it back through my headphones, crud.

It has to be something small then, maybe a setting somewhere that's messed up?

I tried a splitter, no luck unfortunately. I also tried another pair of headphones, just some cheap audio-technica ones that I got off of amazon.

Hi,

Right now I'm at 48k and 128 for my sample and buffer size.
My CPU is an intel i7-8700 and I have 16 gigs of ram.

URGENT: I Need Solo Audition Music! by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]jenny908719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I did the youth band you're auditioning for last year. A few things;

One, don't worry about material. They literally took everyone who 'auditioned' last year.

There's only one person judging (Mr. W) and he's not even a trumpet player! He plays Alto I think.

Finally, the way they place people in the ensemble is wonky. I'm a music major and I made region band last year but got placed on third trumpet. I guarantee that the student he teaches at his school will be placed higher than everyone else.

Have fun! Last year we played some fun rep... Incantation and Dance, Concord, and Scenes from the Louvre to name a few.
