Im pretty impressed with the new Notion smartphone app.  Here is an exame of downloading a midi file from the session and opening in notion mobile.   From there I change the instrument sound.  I think its easier to play along with than the default midi keyboard.   Hopefully i can find where to adjust the dotted sounding rhythm within notion.

Heres the exported mp3 of the above file after I quantized to Notion.  

Ill make a screen grab of how to do that next time.  

Here is a video of what is a normal routine when I record something.   This IS NOT to suggest anything...its just what I do.  And all the recording and mixing and gear doesnt replace actual PRACTICE.  I have no illusions of the quality, but I enjoy doing it.  And it seems there may be others that do as well so here is what I do for them to take a peek at.

The tune is Roscoes Waterfall written by Jay Ungar.  In the video Ive already recorded the parts.   I DID Not use a metronome when I ayed the fiddle and it will show when I try to back it on guitar so excuse that if you can.  It was just to make the video.  

Also, the sound quality is messy but its something to do with the creen recorder audio to presonus connection.  when i feel like researching ill try and either fix that or get a better app.  Ill also include a copy of the audio exported from presonus WITH and WITHOUT EQ and Reverb so you can compare on your own.

Again, this isnt a sales pitch to do any of this...its for anyone that is thinking about it.  Hopefully the video will show theres not alot to it as far as getting going.  Id say theres a long period of time to get good ( no claims to that ) at it.  Theres enty of pro videos you can watch, this is just how Ive been doing it.

Here is the presonus output of mix WITH eq and reverb as in video. 

And without

Ill look but i think it was a fat finger.   was just an extra touch of the screen.

The three #'s are where you change the key.  by default the midi is imported in C.  so alot of naturals will be on the notation.  If you go in and click the 3 # button you can change to correct key and all will be normal notation wise.

Do you mean listening with bluetooth headphones?   There would be latency issues if recording with bluetooth headphones...but after you record you could just move the track left on the timeline by however late you were in real time.  Thats IF playing along to a backing track.  Imagine a click of a metronome and clapping to it.  If you were recording that clap by listening to bluetooth..once you went into look at it on presonus the metronome click would be slightly before your actual recorded clap due to the latency of when you heard it over bluetooth vs when it was actually generated.   Easy fix.   just drag your recording left till it lines up.

@ABitRusty -

Thank you. 

I have a bluetooth transmitter & receiver to use on my violin & amp - was wondering if that would cause any issues. 

  

@elcbk i got to thinking.. youll be listening to the amp not through headphones.  different animal there.  Youll probably be fine.  just try it! ...thats the real answer.  I would expect there to be a small delay from time you bow till time you hear on amp... but maybe not enough to be distracting.

Didnt get a chance to do much music wise last week.  Tonight I was able to sit down with fiddle for a few minutes and just played this.  Its at a very slow lazy pace and anyone who knows the tune will find it painfully slow probably..but it felt good to just do anything.   Ive put a screen shot of a setting by JackB from the session so thank you Jack.  Im playing what I had from teacher from a lesson a while back but really jist recently started to try and play it.  It was a bit much when she presented to me back when.
